- Abstract
Management of dysmenorrhea pain is very important. One of them is using non-pharmacological techniques, which are finger handheld relaxation pain sensations and deliver the transmission of pain impulses to the brain. Self-tapping is tapping touch which is done independently. Self-tapping can apply basic touch techniques to yourself and doesn’t require a lot of money. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hand-held relaxation techniques against dysmenorrhea pain in the second semester Nursing Students of Harapan Bangsa University. Design This study was a quasi-pretestposttest experimental design with control groups using a sample of 72 respondents divided into 3 groups, 24 respondents used Self Tapping, 24 respondents used Finger Handheld Relaxation technique and a control group of 24 respondents. To find out the decrease in pain scale in the treatment group, the researchers used the Paired T test and to find out the effectiveness of hand-held relaxation technique towards dysmenorrhea pain in the second semester Nursing students of Harapan Bangsa University, Independent Sample T Test was employed. Self- Tapping effectively reduces dysmenorrhea pain in Semester II Nursing students with p-value 0.00. Finger Handheld Relaxation Technique was effective to reduce dysmenorrhea pain in the second semester Nursing students with a p-value of 0.00
