Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is a health problem that is often found among young women and teenagers. Primary dysmenorrhea is a painful sensation in the suprapubic region during menstruation without accompanying disorders other than pathophysiological changes during menstruation. There are several factors that are thought to cause primary dysmenorrhea, one of which is caffeine consumption. This study aims to determine whether there is a correlation between caffeine consumption and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in students of the Undergraduate Medical Doctor Study Program (PSSKPD) at Udayana University.
Methods: The research design applies a cross-sectional method by collecting data via questionnaires from a minimum of 76 samples. Data analysis was carried out using the Spearman's Rank Correlation test.
Result: The results of the study characteristically found that the subjects' ages were in the range of 20-24 years, 70 participants (92.1%) had a normal age at menarche, and 63 participants (82.9%) had no family history of primary dysmenorrhea. It was also found that the average value of daily caffeine consumption was 49.27±91.11 mg/day, while the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in most subjects with details of 5 people (6.6%) having no primary dysmenorrhea, 32 people (42.1%) having mild, moderate 35 people (46.1%), and severe 4 people (5.3%). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between caffeine consumption and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea (r=0.05, p=0.668).
Conclusion: Hypothesis testing found there was no relationship between caffeine consumption and primary dysmenorrhea in Undergraduate Medical Doctor Study Program (PSSKPD) students.

Dismenorea primer adalah sensasi nyeri pada regio suprapubis saat menstruasi tanpa disertai gangguan pendamping selain perubahan patofisiologi saat menstruasi. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang diduga dapat menyebabkan kejadian dismenorea primer, salah satunya konsumsi kafein. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui ada atau tidaknya hubungan antara konsumsi kafein dengan kejadian dismenorea primer pada mahasiswi Program Studi Sarjana Kedokteran dan Profesi Dokter Universitas (PSSKPD) Udayana.
Metode: Desain penelitian menerapkan metode cross-sectional dengan pengambilan data melalui kuesioner terhadap minimal 76 sampel. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji Spearman’s Rank Correlation.
Hasil: Hasil penelitian secara karakteristik mendapati usia subjek berada di rentangan 20-24 tahun, sebanyak 70 orang (92,1%) memiliki usia menarche normal, dan sebanyak 63 orang (82,9%) tidak memliki riwayat dismenorea primer pada keluarga. Didapati juga nilai rerata kafein terkonsumsi harian sebesar 49,27 ± 91,11 mg/hari, serta kejadian dismenorea primer pada sebagian besar subjek dengan rincian tidak dismenorea primer 5 orang (6,6%), ringan 32 orang (42,1%), sedang 35 orang (46,1%), dan berat 4 orang (5,3%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara konsumsi kafein dengan kejadian dismenorea primer (r=0,05, p = 0,668).
Kesimpulan: Uji hipotesis menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara konsumsi kafein dan dismenorea primer pada mahasiswi PSSKPD Universitas Udayana.
