Pengelolaan Asuhan Keperawatan Pada Remaja Putri dengan Nyeri Haid melalui Intervensi Genggam Jari di Kelurahan Medan Selayang

Abstract

Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) is a common complaint experienced by adolescent girls and can negatively impact quality of life and daily activities. This senior practicum aims to manage nursing care for adolescents with menstrual pain through the application of finger grip relaxation techniques as a non pharmacological intervention. This nursing care involved three adolescent girls aged 16–18 years, with assessments using the PQRST approach, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, and observations of vital signs and facial expressions. The intervention was conducted for 10–20 minutes daily over three days. Results showed a significant decrease in pain scores from the first to the third day, accompanied by reduced grimacing expressions and discomfort complaints. This technique proved effective, with severe pain scores (score 8) decreasing to moderate scores (score 5), was easy to apply, did not require additional tools, and could be performed independently. In conclusion, finger-gripping relaxation techniques can serve as a non-pharmacological therapy alternative for managing menstrual pain in adolescents.
