Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain commonly experienced by adolescent girls and can interfere with daily activities, including schoolwork. A systematic review by Armour et al. (2019) of 21,573 women under the age of 25 reported a combined prevalence of dysmenorrhea of 71.1%. In Banjaran Pucung Village, Depok City, preliminary assessment results indicate that the majority of adolescent girls experience menstrual pain every month, while knowledge regarding non-pharmacological management of dysmenorrhea—such as the use of herbal remedies made from turmeric, lemongrass, and lime (kuserpis) as well as acupressure—remains limited. Issues: the high incidence of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in Banjaran Pucung Village and the low level of knowledge and skills among adolescents in performing self-management using non-pharmacological methods.
