Abstract

Final year nursing students are individuals who are often exposed to stress. In their daily activities, they face physical and psychological pressures in academics. When stress strikes, cortisol levels become imbalanced, disrupting hormones in the menstrual cycle. This study aims to determine the relationship between stress levels and the menstrual cycle of final year nursing students at ITSK Dr. Soepraoen Hospital. This study used a cross-sectional method with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 62 final year nursing students using an accidental sampling technique. The instrument in this study was the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-42) questionnaire and took into account the menstrual cycle (normal & abnormal), data analysis used the Spearman Rank test. Based on the results of the Spearman's rho test conducted between the variables of stress levels and menstruation, there was a significant relationship between the two. The Spearman correlation coefficient value of 0.367 indicates a moderate positive correlation, meaning that the higher the stress level, the greater the likelihood of changes in menstruation. The results of the significance test (p=0.040) indicate that this correlation is significant at the 0.05 level of significance, meaning a relationship between stress levels and menstruation. The results of the study showed that there was a significant relationship between stress levels and the menstrual cycle in final year students.
