“…In the current study, 27.4% of the students sought treatment from a physician for menstrual pain. These results are similar to many other studies (Atrian et al, 2013;Ayan et al, 2013;Cheng & Lin, 2011;Polat et al, 2009). In a study conducted by Titilayo et al (2009), the rate of women seeking help from a physician for menstrual pain was 14%, which is significantly lower than our findings.…”

“…In the present study, 69% of students with dysmenorrhea used medication to relieve pain. Similarly, studies reported the rate of medication use for management of dysmenorrhea ranging between 54.6%-80% (Ayan et al, 2013;Chuamoor et al, 2012;Zafari, Behmanesh, & Agha Mohammadi, 2011). Among the students, 40.5% with dysmenorrhea used medication on a regular basis and 48.3% used medication when pain intensified; the differences between groups was statistically significant.…”

“…In particular, analgesics and NSAIDs can be quite effective in coping with dysmenorrhea (Ayan et al, 2013;Ortiz, 2010). In the present study, 69% of students with dysmenorrhea used medication to relieve pain.…”

“…In our study, one-fourth of students experiencing dysmenorrhea used OCPs for pain management. Aykut et al (2007) reported that 9.7% of women with dysmenorrhea used OCPs. In another study, it was shown that in women who used OCPs for dysmenorrhea treatment, pain frequency and severity were reduced (Ju et al, 2014).…”

“…The low rate of caregiver consultation for dysmenorrhea among this population, as well as the perception that it is a problem that women should solve on their own, leads to the use of analgesics and nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for treatment (Aykut et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2011). In particular, analgesics and NSAIDs can be quite effective in coping with dysmenorrhea (Ayan et al, 2013;Ortiz, 2010).…”

This study included 56 patients who completed pre-and postoperative (three months) evaluation of quality scale questionnaires: a visual analog scale for pelvic pain, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Endometriosis Health Pro le-30 Questionnaire, and Female Sexual Function Index were administered prior to and three months after each patient's surgery. ResultsAmong the 56 female patients included in this study, statistically signi cant improvement statistically signi cant improvement was observed in pain scores, quality of life, sexual function, and sleep of all patients regardless of endometriosis stage.

Objective: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the relationship between fatigue, and sleep quality, pain and depression in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. The study sample comprised 151 individuals with knee osteoarthritis and 147 healthy individuals. To collect the study data, the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire (SCQ), Visual Analogue Scale to Evaluate Fatigue Severity (VAS-F), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Visual Analogue Scale and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used. To analyze the study data, appropriate tests were used. Results: It was found that the patients with knee osteoarthritis had higher fatigue scores, and higher PSQI and BDI total scores than did the healthy participants, and that the difference between them was significant (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between fatigue score and PSQI, VAS and BDI scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: The participants with knee osteoarthritis suffered fatigue more than did the healthy participants. This fatigue suffered by them affected their sleep quality, pain and depression negatively. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.383 How to cite this:Fertelli TK, Tuncay FO.
