Women experience pain that varies in intensity for each individual. Menstrual pain can be treated using pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. The use of therapy for dysmenorrhea can improve the quality of life of sufferers. The Pharmacy Study Program at Ngudi Waluyo University is dominated by female students where menstrual pain will be an obstacle that affects their academic and daily activities. The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes and behavior of students from the Pharmacy Study Program at Ngudi Waluyo University when experiencing primary dysmenorrhea and to assess the strength of the correlation between the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain and therapy. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis with simple random sampling data collection techniques. Data was analyzed using the SPSS 25 statistical application. Based on the data obtained, 27.11% of respondents used therapy, and 72.89% of respondents did not use therapy. Reducing the pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea has a correlation of 0.520 (moderate) with the use of therapy. Based on statistical tests on academic activities (sig. 0.006) and daily activities (sig. 0.000) which shows that there is an influence of primary dysmenorrhea on the academic and daily activities of respondents, but it has a weak correlation, namely 0.212 and 0.306 respectively. The use of therapy can reduce the intensity of pain in primary dysmenorrhea, however, many do not use therapy when experiencing primary dysmenorrhea and primary dysmenorrhea affects the respondents' academic and daily activities.
