<![CDATA[Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain occurring without underlying gynecological abnormalities and may interfere with students’ activities and comfort. This case study aimed to evaluate the implementation of carrot juice and honey as non-pharmacological interventions for reducing primary dysmenorrhea pain among students at Universitas Dirgantara Marsekal Suryadarma. A descriptive case study design was employed using the nursing care process, including assessment, nursing diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects were four students with primary dysmenorrhea. Two subjects received carrot juice twice daily for two days during menstruation, while the other two received honey for five days, comprising three days before and two days during menstruation. Pain intensity was assessed before and after the interventions using the Numeric Rating Scale. Following carrot juice administration, pain scores decreased from 6 to 3 and 2. Following honey administration, pain scores decreased from 4 to 1 and from 5 to 2. Pain reduction was also accompanied by decreased weakness and facial grimacing. The findings indicate that carrot juice and honey may have potential as complementary interventions in nursing care for primary dysmenorrhea. However, controlled studies with larger samples are required to confirm their effectiveness.]]>
