"The Relationship Between Chronotype, Nutritional Status, and Iron Intake and the Incidence of Dysmenorrhoea. (Observational Study on College Students at a Pesantren-Based University)
Abstract
Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common issues among women of reproductive
age. Several factors contributing to dysmenorrhea include chronotype, nutritional
status, and iron intake. Poor sleep patterns, abnormal nutritional status, and
insufficient iron intake can contribute to a disruption of the reproductive organs and
cause pain during menstruation. The study analyzed the relationship between
chronotype, nutritional status, iron intake, and dysmenorrhea incidence. A cross�sectional research design was implemented at Universitas Darussalam Gontor. The
sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The study sample consisted of
99 female students aged 19-24 years with sample calculation using the Slovin
formula. Nutritional status was measured using BMI. Chronotype was measured by
MEQ-SA (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire Self-Assessment Version)
questionnaire, dysmenorrhea questionnaire, and NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) to
see the pain level of dysmenorrhea and SQ-FFQ questionnaire to see iron intake.
Bivariate data analysis using Spearman rank test. The research results showed there
is a relationship between chronotype (p=0.028), and iron intake (p=0.008) with the
incidence of dysmenorrhea, there is no relationship between nutritional status with
the incidence of dysmenorrhea (p=0.448). This research can conclude there is an
association between chronotype and iron intake with the incidence of
dysmenorrhea, and there is no association between nutritional status with the
incidence of dysmenorrhea.
