Abstract

Background: Adolescence, which occurs between the ages of 11 and 20, is also a period of maturation of the human reproductive organs, also known as puberty. Menstruation is the most common problem experienced by teenagers today. Early menarche, lack of exercise, abnormal menstrual cycles, and alcohol consumption are some of the causes of dysmenorrhea. The World Health Organization reported in 2020 that 1,769,425 adolescent girls experienced dysmenorrhea (90%) of the total and 10%-15% of them experienced severe dysmenorrhea. In Indonesia, 64.25% of productive women experience menstrual pain. Purpose: To identify the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Method: This research was quantitative, with a pre-experimental design using a single-group pre-post test approach. The study was conducted MTS Mumbulsari Jember with 40 respondents. Data collection used purposive sampling and a Numeric Rating Scale (RRS) instrument to determine pain intensity and aromatherapy candles. Results: From the T-Test calculation with a p value of 0.000 < α (0.05), which means there is a relationship between lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea. Aromatherapy works by influencing the emotional center in the limbic system, providing a calming and relaxing effect on the body, which can reduce pain. Conclusion: Relaxation therapy with aromatherapy is recommended as a self-administered technique to treat dysmenorrhea, thereby reducing the use of analgesics. Suggestion: The results of this study are expected to be a reference for female students regarding non-pharmacological methods to reduce menstrual pain.

Abstract

Sleep disorders in the elderly are a problem that can affect overall health. The lighting factor during sleep is thought to influence sleep quality through inhibiting melatonin production and disrupting circadian rhythms. This research used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling of 44 elderly respondents in Sidodadi Village, Banyuwangi. The independent variable is lighting (bright, dim, dark), while the dependent variable is sleep quality. Data analysis was carried out using the chi-square test. Most respondents slept in darkness (52.4%), and the majority had good sleep quality (83.3%). However, the results of the chi-square test showed that there was no significant relationship between lighting and sleep quality (p-value = 0.066). This research concludes that lighting does not have a statistically significant relationship with the sleep quality of the elderly in Sidodadi Village. Further research is needed to consider other variables that may influence sleep quality in older adults.
