Introduction

Analysis of effleurage massage and mozart classic music therapy on primary dysmenorhore in adolescent girls at islamic boarding school kararan trenggalek district. Explore how effleurage massage and Mozart music therapy effectively reduce primary dysmenorrhea pain in adolescent girls at an Islamic boarding school. Significant results show pain reduction.

Abstract

Dymenorrhea is lower abdominal pain that occurs before menstruation or during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea can make women unable to carry out daily activities such as studying, working and other daily activities and requires them to sleep. The aim of this research was to determine the analysis of effleurage massage therapy and Mozart classical music on primary dysmenorrhea in young women at the Trenggalek Islamic boarding school. The design of this research is quantitative with a pre-experimental design approach pretest-posttest one group. The independent variables of this research are effleurage massage therapy and Mozart classical music therapy, while the dependent variable is Primary Dysmenorrhea. The instrument used was the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for 35 respondents taken using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the pain level of respondents before being given therapy were that the majority experienced primary dysmenorrhea in the moderate pain category, namely on a scale of 4-6, 19 respondents (54%). After being given therapy, the majority of respondents experienced primary dysmenorrhea in the mild pain category on a scale of 1-3, 27 respondents (77%). The results of the study using the Wilcoxon test with a value of α = 0.05, it was found significantly 0,000, because the significance value was <0.05 which meant there was an effect of giving effleurage massage therapy and classical music Mozart on the decline in primary dysmenorrhea in the women's teenager in Islamic boarding schools by Trenggalek. Effleurage massage therapy can warm muscles and improve blood circulation, while Mozart classical music therapy can stimulate endorphin hormones which, if both therapies are carried out, can reduce pain.

Review

This study investigates the combined effect of effleurage massage and Mozart classical music therapy on primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls within an Islamic boarding school setting. The abstract highlights a pre-post intervention design where 35 respondents, initially experiencing moderate pain, reported a significant shift to mild pain after receiving the therapy. The finding of a statistically significant reduction in dysmenorrhea pain is presented as evidence for the efficacy of this combined approach. The choice of topic is highly relevant, addressing a common and impactful health issue among adolescent girls, and exploring non-pharmacological interventions is a valuable contribution to pain management strategies. Methodologically, the study's design as a "pre-experimental design approach pretest-posttest one group" represents a significant limitation. The absence of a control group makes it challenging to definitively attribute the observed pain reduction solely to the intervention. Factors such as the placebo effect, natural fluctuation of pain, regression to the mean, or even the attention received by the participants, cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, the study combines two distinct therapies – effleurage massage and Mozart classical music – making it impossible to ascertain the individual contribution or synergistic effect of each component. While the use of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is appropriate for pain assessment, the purposive sampling technique, while practical, may limit the generalizability of the findings to a broader population. Despite the identified methodological constraints, the study provides preliminary insights into a potentially beneficial, non-pharmacological approach to managing primary dysmenorrhea. The observed reduction in pain scores is encouraging and suggests that such interventions warrant further investigation. Future research would greatly benefit from a more robust design, such as a randomized controlled trial with a control group and, ideally, arms that compare individual therapies versus the combined approach. This would help disentangle the specific effects of massage and music, providing clearer evidence for their respective efficacies. Additionally, exploring long-term effects and the participants' qualitative experiences could offer deeper understanding and strengthen the evidence base for these interventions.
