Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), often known as premenstrual tension, is a set of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms that women experience in the luteal phase of menstrual cycle (7–10 days before menstruation). The aim of the present study is to find out the prevalence of PMS in young females quantitative approach with descriptive research design was adopted and study samples was chosen by purposive research sampling. The data were collected from Pt. Ravishankar University through the fourth edition of Menstrual Distress questionnaire published in 2010 by Rudolf H. Moos. The collected data were analyzed by a descriptive statistical method. 500 girls were selected for the study. Who has reached menarche, their menarche were (12.29 ± 1.49) and is between the ages of 18 and 28 (22.81 ± 2.29). The result indicates that 13%, 13.60%, and 11.40% of girls are suffering from mild, moderate, and severe symptoms of PMS. The most affected symptoms were Behavioral changes (7.05 ± 4.57), arousal (7.08 ± 4.06), and negative effects (7.03 ± 4.88). Other symptoms were autonomic reaction (4.96 ± 2.89), water retention (4.88 ± 2.6), pain (5.5 ± 2.54), control (5.5 ± 3.59), and impaired concentration (6.48 ± 5.86). The overall mean was 47.91, with a standard deviation of 13.16, indicating that the majority of the girls experienced some form of menstrual discomfort.

e24040 Background: The global cancer burden continues to rise, putting individuals under severe physical, mental, and financial stress. Yoga may aid chemotherapy patients to improve their quality of life. The purpose of this survey is to learn more about the gaps in knowledge, attitude, and practice of Yoga and barriers. Methods: The cross-sectional time-bound survey was conducted on cancer patients of age 18 years and above receiving cancer treatment at the outpatient clinic of AIIMS Rishikesh. We collected data of 738 cancer patients, bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to understand the level of awareness of the importance of Yoga as an alternative therapy. Results: Of 738 cancer patients who participated, 90.2% had heard about Yoga. Among those aware of yogic practices, only 15.9% knew that Yoga is an alternative therapy across the world. Knowledge of yogic importance was associated with age (OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.07-1.26, p = 0.002), education (OR = 0.5, 95%CI = 0.4-0.6, p < < .001), religion (OR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.1-1.2, p < < .001). Attitude towards Yoga with the belief that it helps maintain mental health has a positive association with education (OR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.8-0.9, p = 0.03). Almost 56% of cancer patients had never practiced Yoga. The identified barriers in yogic kriya practice were lack of time, interest, and facilities. Conclusions: The knowledge of the benefits of Yoga on health was high in adolescent young cancer patients. Still, the motivation towards yoga practice is limited due to various factors like lack of infrastructure, time, belief. The gap between knowledge, attitude, practice, and barriers can be overcome by conducting effective yogic programs for this population.
Background: Premenstrual Syndromes (PMS) are major public health issues that have a significant impact on one's mental health. Additional healthcare costs, absenteeism from work, and activity restrictions all add to the economic burden of such a disorder. Yoga as a therapeutic regimen has been shown to be useful to individuals with mental health and premenstrual syndrome. Aim of the study: The present study was conducted to assess the effect of Yogic intervention on Premenstrual syndrome among Adolescence. Methodology: 30 students were selected from the Government Girls Higher secondary school with ages ranging from 14 to 17 years (group average age±SD 38.37±5.52 years). They all filled Modified Moos menstrual Distress questionnaire before and after the yogic intervention. They were randomly divided into Control and Experimental group. The participants in experimental group did Yoga for 45 minutes each day for 10 weeks under supervision of a female yoga therapist whereas those in control group did not do any such specific activity. Results: Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test. There was a statistically significant reduction in the pain, water retention, autonomic reactions, negative effect, impaired concentration, behavior change, arousal, Control in yoga group as compared to control group. Computed t-value for all participants (i.e., 6.31) has been found significant for df = 28, P<0.01. Conclusion: Premenstrual syndrome can be alleviated by the Yogic Intervention. It is therefore possible to administer yogic intervention (asans and breathing exercises) to help alleviate the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in Adolescence girls.
