Acupressure Therapy Dysmenorrhea Female Students Menstrual Pain Sanyinjiao (SP6)
Abstract
Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common menstrual disorders experienced by adolescent girls and young women. Menstrual pain can interfere with daily activities, academic concentration, productivity, and quality of life. Various non-pharmacological methods have been developed to alleviate dysmenorrhea pain; one such method is acupressure therapy at the Sanyinjiao (SP6) point.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of acupressure therapy at the Sanyinjiao (SP6) point in reducing the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea pain among female university students.
Method: This study was a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted from March to April 2026 at the Mutiara Mahakam College of Health Sciences in Samarinda. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 30 female student participants. The independent variable was acupressure therapy at the Sanyinjiao (SP6) point, while the dependent variable was dysmenorrhea pain intensity. Pain levels were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: Prior to the intervention, the majority of participants experienced moderate pain (53.3%), followed by severe pain (36.7%) and mild pain (10.0%). The mean pain intensity score before the intervention was 5.93 ± 1.721 points. After the intervention, the majority of participants experienced mild pain (56.7%), 40.0% experienced moderate pain, and 3.3% experienced no pain. The mean pain intensity score decreased to 3.33 ± 1.373 points. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test results indicated a significant difference in pain intensity before and after the intervention (p-value < 0.001).
Conclusion: Acupressure therapy at the Sanyinjiao (SP6) point is highly effective as a non-pharmacological method for reducing primary dysmenorrhea pain intensity by promoting relaxation, providing comfort, and alleviating tension during menstruation. Thus, this therapy can be considered a safe and easy-to-administer alternative for managing menstrual pain and has the potential to improve the quality of life for young women suffering from dysmenorrhea.
Suggestion: Healthcare professionals, particularly midwives, are encouraged to play an active role in providing information, counseling, and training regarding acupressure as a complementary therapy for managing primary dysmenorrhea.
