Effect of Routine Consumption of Turmeric-Tamarind Herb on Dysmenorrhea among Adolescent Girls
Puberty in adolescents is identified by the sign of monthly menstrual
period. Although it occurs naturally, many adolescent girls suffer
from dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea affects daily activities and even
causes absence from school. Herbal medicine is still an alternative
therapy for dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Nonpharmacological therapy using turmeric-tamarind herb is easy to
obtain and has no side effects. Thisstudy aims to determine the effect
of routine consumption of turmeric-tamarind herb on dysmenorrhea
among adolescent girls in Pondok Meja Village. This was an
observational analytical study with cross-sectional design. The
population in this study involved all adolescent girls in Pondok Meja
Village, with a total sample of 76 adolescent girls, who were selected
using a purposive sampling technique based on inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Data was collected using online questionnaires
from December 2021 to April 2022. Data collected were analyzed
using Chi-Square test. Results showed that there was an effect of
routine consumption of turmeric-tamarind herb on dysmenorrhea
among adolescent girls. Adolescent girls who did not routinely
consume turmeric-tamarind herb had a 0.035 times higher probability
of experiencing primary dysmenorrhea than those who routinely
consume turmeric-tamarind herb. Adolescent girls who routinely
consumed turmeric-tamarind herb did not experience dysmenorrhea.
