Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Background: Primary dysmenorrhea significantly disrupts daily activities and diminishes the quality of life among adolescent females. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the '[Name] Endorphin' pocketbook in enhancing adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and skills in managing menstrual discomfort through non-pharmacological methods. Method: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design was conducted. Sixty participants were divided equally into intervention and control groups. Results: The Wilcoxon test showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge and skills (p < 0.05), but no significant change in attitudes (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the Mann-Whitney test revealed significant differences between the two groups across all three variables (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The pocketbook effectively improves adolescents' knowledge and practical skills regarding primary dysmenorrhea, though it has not yet significantly altered attitudes. This educational tool holds substantial potential for integration into adolescent reproductive health programs.
