The Effect of Video Guided imagery in Reducing Dysmenorrhea in Adolescent Girls

Abstract

The prevalence of dysmenorrhea experienced by the majority of women of productive age in Indonesia is around 73%, with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea being 54.8%. Dysmenorrhea has a significant negative impact on academic performance both at school and during higher education which will affect academic achievement. The research aims to determine the effect of video-guided imagery on the adolescent dysmenorrhoea scale. The research used a quasi-experimental pre-post-one group design. The population in the study were young women who experienced dysmenorrhoea in the PMB area of Bengkulu City with a sample of 30 people taken using a purposive sampling technique. Research data was collected through pre-test and post-test and processed using the SPSS program. The results of data analysis showed: that there was a difference in scores between the pre-test and post-test results and there was an influence of video-guided imagery on reducing dysmenorrhoea in young women in PMB in the Bengkulu City area (p=0.00). It is hoped that video-guided imagery media can be used as an alternative for non-pharmacological pain reduction for every teenager who experiences dysmenorrhoea and trains adolescent cadres to socialize video-guided imagery in the management of dysmenorrhea for young women.
