“…20 It has been observed that distressing symptoms co-related significantly with debilitating and unhealthy attitudes. 11 Long resting hours (29.5%) i.e bed rest other than normal sleeping hours per cycle attributed to physical discomfort and decreased appetite (22.4%) during menstruation were considered to be disabling and distressing symptoms associated with menstrual cycles. The most widely studied and frequently blamed etiopathogenic hypothesis is the serotonin dysregulation 21 Disturbed social life and absenteeism from work (25%) and school (17.24%) were the effects of menstruation related problems on their daily routine as reported by the study subjects.…”

“…Bu önemli bir sonuçtur çünkü yapılan çalışmalar dismenoreli kadınlarda ortaya çıkan fizyolojik ya da psikolojik belirtilerin şiddeti üzerinde, menstruasyonun negatif ya da pozitif algılanmasının etkili olduğunu işaret etmektedir (32)(33)(34)(35)(36). Kadınların menstruasyona yönelik tutumları da aynı şekilde premenstrüel ve menstrüel fazdaki fiziksel, bilişsel, davranışsal ve psikolojik semptomlar ile ilişkilidir.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışma dismenoresi olan ve olmayan kadınların menstruasyona yönelik tutumlarını ve stres düzeylerini karşılaştırmak böylece dismenore ile menstruasyona yönelik tutum arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla planlandı.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 18 yaş üzeri, 52 dismenoreli, 48 sağlıklı toplam 100 kadın öğrenci dahil edildi. Kadınların menstruasyon dönemindeki tutum ve davranışları Menstruasyon Tutum Ölçeği, yaşantılarındaki stres vericilerin algılanış düzeyi ise Algılanan Stres Ölçeği kullanılarak menstruasyon esnasında ve menstruasyondan 15 gün sonra değerlendirildi. Menstruasyon sırasında oluşabilen karın krampları, mide bulantısı, kusma, ishal, iştah kaybı, baş dönmesi, güçsüzlük, baş, bacak ile sırt ağrıları gibi ek semptomlar sorgulandı. Sonuçlar: Menstruasyon tutum ölçeğinin sadece "menstruasyonu doğal bir olgu olarak gör-me" alt ölçeği skorları dismenoreli grupta kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olarak düşüktü (p<0.05). Ancak diğer alt ölçeklerinde iki grup arasında istatistiksel bir fark yoktu (p>0.05). Algılanan stres ölçeği skorları menstruasyon sırasında dismenoreli grupta kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksek iken (p<0.05), menstruasyondan 15 gün sonra algılanan stres ölçeği skorlarında her iki grup arasında istatistiksel bir fark yoktu (p>0.05). Menstrüel semptomlardan karın krampları, mide bulantısı ve güçsüzlük şiddeti dismenoreli grupta istatistiksel olarak yüksekti (p<0.05).Tartışma: Bu çalışma dismenoresi olan kadınların menstruasyona yönelik bazı önemli tutum değişiklikleri olduğunu göstermektedir. Özellikle menstruasyonu doğal bir süreç olarak kabul etmede problem yaşamaktadırlar. Aynı zamanda dismenoreli kadınlarda normal menstruasyon geçiren kadınlara oranla daha fazla iştah kaybı, kramp, güçsüzlük gibi fizyolojik ya da psikolojik kaynaklı semptomlar görülmektedir. Bu kişilerde uygulanacak bilişsel davranış ve algı terapisi gibi uygulamalar menstruasyona yönelik algıyı değiştirmesi durumunda dismenore tedavisine katkı sağlayabilir. RESEARCH ARTICLE CHANGES OF MENSTRUAL ATTITUDE AND STRESS PERCEPTION IN WOMEN WITH DYSMENORRHEA ABSTRACTPurpose: This study was planned to compare the attitudes toward menstruation and stress levels of women with and without dysmenorrhea. Methods:A total of 100 female students (52 subjects with and 48 subjects without dysmenorrhea, respectively) over 18 years old were enrolled in this study. The attitude of women was assessed during menstruation by Menstruation Attitude Questionnaire. Level of perceived stress was evaluated with Percieved Stress Scale during menstruation and 15 days after menstruation. Additional menstrual symptoms such as abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dizziness, weakness, headache, back pain, leg symptoms were questioned during menstruation. Results:Only "menstruation as a natural event" subscale scores of Menstruation Attitude Questionnaire were significantly lower in women with dysmenorrhea than controls. Perceived Stress Scale scores during menstruation were significantly lower in the...

“…Further, Lu's study also revealed the fact that women's attitude toward menstruation was related with physical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological symptoms in the menstrual and premenstrual phases. [26,27] Furthermore, studies have proven that students with insufficient knowledge about menstruation had more negative attitudes toward the same and experienced PMS more frequently. [28] Furthermore, a study by Sonmezer and Yosmaguk discovered that women with dysmenorrhea did not consider menstruation as a natural event.…”

Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a recurrent, cluster of symptoms and signs that develop during the 10 days before the onset of menses and subside with the onset of menstruation. It is known to affect the women's interpersonal relationships, social interactions, academic performance, sleep, emotional, and also physical well-being. Aims and Objective: This study aims to determine the psychological predictors and sleep quality in different grades of PMS. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 female nursing students, and psychological predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress were assessed using depression anxiety stress scale questionnaire and also, the sleep quality was assessed using Pittsburgh sleep quality index and insomnia severity index (ISI). The above parameters were compared in different grades of PMS. The PMS was graded using moos questionnaire. Results: Among the 100 females, 50 belonged to mild grading, 50 belonged to moderate grading, and none of them had severe grading of PMS. On comparison of psychological predictors, the depression, anxiety, and stress scales were found be significantly elevated in moderate category when compared to mild with P = 0.03, 0.045, and 0.042, respectively (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the sleep quality index showed poor quality of sleep in moderate category when compared to mild which was statistically significant with P = 0.027. However, the ISI score was high in moderate PMS when compared to mild, but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The intensity of PMS is associated with elevation of depression, anxiety, stress, and poor quality of sleep. Determining the methods of coping with PMS and strengthening the young girls on this subject may enhance their quality of future life.
