There was a statistically significant relationship between knowledge about PMS and stress levels (p = 0.000), with girls having more knowledge reporting lower stress. Early or limited evidence 30 female high school students in Air Putih District, Batubara Regency, Indonesia ## What they did Cross-sectional study of 30 female high school students in class X at a private vocational school in Air Putih District, Batubara Regency, Indonesia. Researchers used questionnaires to measure knowledge about PMS and stress levels in dealing with premenstrual symptoms. ## What they found A statistically significant relationship was found between knowledge level and stress level regarding PMS (p-value = 0.000, chi-square = 48.302). The relationship suggests that increased knowledge about PMS and learning relaxation techniques could help minimize stress in teenagers experiencing premenstrual symptoms. ## What it means for you Understanding more about PMS appears to help girls manage stress better when symptoms occur. The study was very small (30 girls) in one school, so results may not generalize to other populations. Cross-sectional design shows association but does not prove that knowledge causes lower stress. No specific effect sizes were reported beyond the p-value. 30 Students studied 0.000 P-value for relationship between knowledge and stress 48.302 Chi-square value ## About the study Original title The Relationship between Knowledge and Stress Levels Facing Premenstrual Syndrome in Class X Female Students at SMK Swasta Alwasliyah 17 Authors Rostina Afrida Pohan, Meni Fuzi Astuti Tanjung, Erlina Esther Rotua Siringoringo Journal International Journal of Public Health Excellence (IJPHE) Year 2024 Study design Survey study Participants 30 What was tested None.
