Abstract

Background: The stress faced by the final student due to the demands of completing a thesis on time triggers the activation of the HPA axis so that it can increase the secretion of the cortisol produced by the adrenal cortex. Increased cortisol secretion increases uterine muscle contraction thereby aggravating menstrual pain.Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between cortisol levels and menstrual pain in nursing students of Nahdlatul Ulama University, Surabaya (UNUSA).Methods: This study is an analytic observational with cross sectional approach. Population of this study were all nursing students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects of this study were 46 people selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through observations with VAS and cortisol laboratory results. Data were analyzed by using Spearman rank test.Results: The results showed that: 1) All students experience menstrual pain 2) Cortisol levels in all students are still in the normal range 3) There is a correlation between cortisol levels with menstrual pain (p = 0.009).Conclusion: Increasing cortisol levels are followed by aggravating menstrual pain. Future research is expected to examine other factors that cause menstrual pain in final semester students.
