Dismenore merupakan nyeri saat menstruasi yang disebabkan oleh peningkatan produksi prostaglandin sehingga dapat mengganggu aktivitas sehari-hari, proses belajar, serta kualitas hidup wanita usia reproduksi. Salah satu upaya penanganan dismenore secara nonfarmakologis adalah melalui konsumsi jus wortel yang mengandung beta-karoten, vitamin A, vitamin C, kalium, dan antioksidan yang berperan dalam mengurangi peradangan serta membantu menurunkan kontraksi uterus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dengan sikap mahasiswi S1 Kebidanan Universitas Baiturrahim tentang jus wortel dalam mengatasi dismenore. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Universitas Baiturrahim pada bulan MaretJuli 2026. Populasi penelitian adalah mahasiswi tingkat II, III, dan IV Program Studi S1 Kebidanan yang berjumlah 160 orang, dengan sampel sebanyak 40 responden yang diambil menggunakan teknik proportional random sampling. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner pengetahuan dan sikap yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki pengetahuan tinggi sebanyak 31 responden (77,5%) dan sikap positif sebanyak 28 responden (70,0%). Hasil uji Chi-Square diperoleh nilai p-value = 0,024 (p < 0,05), sehingga terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan dengan sikap mahasiswi S1 Kebidanan Universitas Baiturrahim tentang jus wortel dalam mengatasi dismenore. Diharapkan institusi pendidikan dapat meningkatkan edukasi mengenai terapi nonfarmakologis dismenore sehingga pengetahuan dan sikap mahasiswa terhadap pemanfaatan jus wortel sebagai alternatif penanganan dismenore semakin baik.

The research results demonstrated that the majority of respondents possessed high knowledge, accounting for 31 respondents representing 77.5 percent, and positive attitudes, accounting for 28 respondents representing 70.0 percent. The Chi Square test yielded a p value of 0.024, where p is less than 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes of Bachelor of Midwifery students at Baiturrahim University regarding carrot juice in managing dysmenorrhea.
