Abstract
A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Mint Paste On Dysmenorrhoea Among Adolescent Girls At Selected School, Salem. A Quantitative evaluative approach with quasi experimental research design was used. 60 samples were selected by non probability convenience sampling technique 30 adolescents girls with dysmenorrhoea from Govt.Girls Hr.Sec. School, Kondalampatti as experimental group and 30 adolescent girls with dysmenorrhoea from Govt.Hr.Sec.School, Mettupatti, Salem as control group. The data were collected by Dysmenorrhoea Rating Scale and Structured Interview Schedule. After the pre test 5 grams of mint paste was given for the period of seven days (4 days prior to menstruation and continued till 3 days during menstruation) to the 30 samples in experimental group. Post test was done on 7th day for the both experimental and control group. During pre test in experimental group 19(63.33%) had moderate level of dysmenorrhoea and 11(36.67%) had severe level of dysmenorrhoea. In control group 9 (30%) had moderate level of dysmenorrhoea, 21(70%) had severe level of dysmenorrhoea. During post test in experimental group 19(63.33%) had mild level of dysmenorrhoea and 11(36.37%) had moderate level of dysmenorrhoea and in control group 12(40%) had moderate level of dysmenorrhoea and 18(60%) had severe level of dysmenorrhoea. In experimental group the pre test score on dysmenorrhoea was 23.67±7.25, post test mean score was 15.03±4.93, with a difference of 8.63. In control group, the pre test mean score was 27.93±5.92 and post test mean score was 27.00±5.58 with a difference of 0.93 which shows that mint paste was effective on reducing dysmenorrhoea. The ‘t’ value on dysmenorrhoea was 8.80 at P<0.05 level. Hence the formulated hypothesis H1 was retained. There was no significant association found between the level of dysmenorrhoea and their selected demographic variables. Hence the formulated hypothesis H2 was rejected. Hence mint is the safest and cheapest method of alternative medicine in the management of dysmenorrhoea.
