This study employing a cross-sectional design with a descriptive analytical quantitative approach, with involved 55 selected through purposive sampling. The results revealed that majority of students experienced severe anxiety related to menstruation. Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed poor menstrual knowledge and poor effective mother-child communication significantly contributed to elevated anxiety levels in partially. However, through simultaneously analysis, it was found that only menstrual knowledge had a significant effect on anxiety after controlling for the mother-child communication variable.
