Pengaruh Terapi Musik Klasik terhadap Intensitas Nyeri Dismenore Primer pada Siswi SMK Al Washliyah Hamparan Perak

Abstract

The most common gynaecological complaint experienced by women, particularly during adolescence, is dysmenorrhea. This condition is caused by the rise of prostaglandin hormones, which trigger vasoconstriction during the shedding of the endometrium and blood expulsion, often leading to nausea, vomiting, headache, and diarrhea. Listening to classical music is claimed to be one of the relaxation techniques that may help alleviate pain because the classical music has gentle melodies and is soothing. This Research investigates the effect of classical music therapy on the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea among students of SMK Al Washliyah Hamparan Perak. This is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pre-test-post-test approach. It involves a population of 50 female students from SMK Al Washliyah Hamparan Perak, and a sample of 34 students is selected using purposive sampling technique. Statistical analysis is conducted using the Mann-Whitney test. The findings reveal a P value 0.000 <0.05, indicating a considerable effect of classical music therapy in decreasing the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain.
