Abstract

Anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can influence the health condition of adolescent girls, including the occurrence of dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is commonly experienced by adolescent girls and can interfere with daily activities if not properly managed. A high level of anxiety is suspected to exacerbate the perception of pain during menstruation. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlationbetween anxiety and the incidence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in Grati.This study employed a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample included all adolescent girls experiencing dysmenorrhea in Grati during May 2026, totaling 32 respondents, using an accidental sampling technique. The instruments used were the HARS questionnaire and the NRS questionnaire. Based on the Spearman Rho statistical test, the p-value was 0.000 with α = 0.05. Since the significance value was less than α, H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted, indicating that there is acorrelation between anxiety and the incidence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls in Grati Village. Therefore, it can be concluded that the higher the level of anxiety, the more severe the dysmenorrhea experienced by adolescent girls
