Abstract: During the pandemic, online activities can be a way to get entertainment. However, in such a long time, virtual activities also turn into new sources of stress. Sources of stress are life events, chronic tension, and daily problems (Malahayati, 2019). Stress can also interfere with the work of the endocrine system, causing irregular menstruation and pain during menstruation (Martini et al., 2014). Menstruation is often followed by pain (dysmenorrhoea) due to an increase in prostaglandin F2 due to a decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Prostaglandin F2 serves to stimulate mild rhythmic contractions in the myometrium (smooth muscle layer) of the uterus. Too strong uterine contractions due to excessive prostaglandin F2 production is what causes dysmenorrhoea. This study aims to analyse the effect of stress on the primary dysmenorrhoea scale during the pandemic. This research method is a quantitative study with an observational analytic design using a cross sectional approach, namely by taking data on stress and primary dysmenorrhoea scale at the same time and only one data collection. The results showed that Chi-Square p value = 0.0001, so it can be concluded that there is an influence between stress and primary dysmenorrhoea where 27.6% experienced very severe stress with severe dysmenorrhoea. However, given the limitations of this study, the researcher hopes that further research will be conducted on the factors that cause stress and primary dysmenorrhoea.
