“…1 Women with PMS experience higher levels of life stress, and mindfulness-based approaches have the potential to help women with premenstrual symptoms. 30 This study demonstrated that MBSR reduced PMS syndromes. These findings are consistent with other studies in which PMSS levels declined in students after an MBSR program intervention.…”

“…1,33 Mindfulness practices can beneficially affect the mind, autonomic nervous system, stress, immune system, and physical condition. 30 Mindfulness is a balanced sense of consciousness that helps individuals observe and acknowledge their emotions and physical experiences in the same way. Therefore, in PMS, mindfulness-based approaches can help patients feel and accept their emotions and physical symptoms such as headache and hip pain.…”

“…While mindfulness helps the brain create positive emotions, it also has beneficial effects on immune function and alleviates depression. 30 Mindfulness can improve the physical and psychological health of women with PMS by encouraging the practice of muscle relaxation techniques and reducing aggravating physical responses to stress. 32 In addition, mindfulness helps individuals to be fully aware of their thoughts and feelings, accept these feelings without judgment, and gain the ability to be calm and focused.…”

IntroductionPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) is an important health problem that affects women of childbearing age. Mindfulness, a meditation practice that cultivates the acceptance of events as they occur in the moment without judgment, is a promising strategy to help women cope with PMS. This study aimed to test the efficacy of a mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR) program in decreasing premenstrual symptoms compared with a control group.MethodsThis study was a prospective, single‐masked randomized controlled trial conducted between February and April 2022 with 90 university students. Participants were women between 20 and 30 years of age, scored at least 45 on the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and were not receiving other treatments for PMS. Participants were randomized into experimental (MBSR) and control groups in a 1:1 allocation. MBSR was provided in 8 weekly sessions lasting 2.5 hours and a 6‐hour silence retreat during week 6. Symptoms of PMS were evaluated with the PMSS at baseline and postintervention. Differences between groups were compared postintervention using analysis of covariance to correct for baseline scores. The study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov before the data collection process was initiated (NCT05191108).ResultsOf the 90 enrolled participants, 74 participants completed the study and postintervention assessment (37 in each group). Immediately postintervention, the women in the experimental group had significantly lower PMS symptoms than women in the control group (PMSS total score, 96.35 vs 123.02; P < .001). The effect size for the change in premenstrual symptoms was large (partial η2, 0.510). Specific symptoms measured by the PMSS subscales all showed significant reductions in scores in the MBSR group compared with the control group.DiscussionA mindfulness stress reduction program was effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. MBSR programs may be used as a therapy for PMS. Future studies should test MBSR in larger and more diverse groups of women with PMS.

The purpose is to explore the relationship between Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Mindfulness as well as the mediating role of Perceived Social Support (PSS) and health-related quality of Life (HRQoL) among deaf/hard-of-hearing women. This is a cross-sectional study. An overall sample of 202 participants was selected. Path analysis was used. As indicated by the results, PMS correlated significantly with Mindfulness, PSS and HRQoL. Moreover, Mindfulness correlated significantly and positively with PSS and HRQoL. Besides, there is a significant negative relationship between PSS and HRQoL. PMS has direct effects on PSS and HRQoL. In addition, both PSS and HRQoL have immediate impacts on Mindfulness. To conclude, this study examined and confirmed the relationship between PMS and Mindfulness as mediated by PSS and HRQoL among deaf/hard-of-hearing women.
