Abstract

A health problem that is often experienced by adolescents during menstruation is dysmenorrhea. In Indonesia, the incidence of dysmenorrhea consists of 72.89% of primary dysmenorrhea and 21.11% of secondary dysmenorrhea among women of reproductive age.  The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea in young women at Al-Irsyad Cilacap Islamic Junior High School in 2023. The method in this study was retrospective. The sampling technique used was Cluster Random Sampling with a sample size of 52 respondents. Data analysis used the chi-square test.  the results of the study showed that there was a relationship between family history and the incidence of dysmenorrhea (p Value = 0.027 <0.05) while the age of menarche (p Value = 0.213 > 0.05), length of menstruation (p Value = 0.897 > 0.05) and body mass index (p Value = 0.411 > 0.05) had no relationship with the incidence of dysmenorrhea.  Based on the results it was found that factors related to dysmenorrhea were only family history with dysmenorrhea, so that in the future it is advisable to carry out screening to reduce the risk of dysmenorrhea.
