The Effect of Psikological Stress on the Scale of Primary Dysmenorrhea during Pandemic
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science Humanity & Management Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
During the pandemic, activities through cyberspace can be a way to get entertainment. Nevertheless, for such a long time, virtual activities have also turned into new stressors. Sources of stress are life events, chronic tension and everyday problems (Malahayati, 2019). Stress also can interfere with the work of the endocrine system, causing irregular menstruation and pain during menstruation (Martini et al., 2014)). Menstruation is often followed by pain (dysmenorrhea) due to an increase in prostaglandin F2 due to a decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Prostaglandin F2 functions to stimulate mild rhythmic contractions of the myometrium (smooth muscle layer) of the uterus. Uterine contractions that are too strong due to excessive production of prostaglandin F2 are what cause dysmenorrhea. This study aims to analyze the effect of stress on the scale of primary dysmenorrhea during the pandemic. The method of the study is a quantitative study with an observational analytic design using a cross sectional approach, namely by taking stress data and primary dysmenorrheal scale at the same time and only taking data once. The result shows that Chi-Square p value = 0.0001, so it can be concluded that there is an influence between stress on primary dysmenorrhoea in which 27.6% experienced very severe stress with severe dysmenorrhoea. However, considering the limitations of this study, the researcher hopes that further studies will be carried out regarding the factors that cause stress and primary dysmenorrhea.
