Background: Symptoms in the premenstrual period can be debilitating and troublesome and impacts the general health of women. There is a dearth of studies examining the relationship between sleep quality and premenstrual symptoms in women, especially in Indian settings. The current study was conducted with the aim of looking at the frequency of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in different age groups and the association of these symptoms with sleep quality in nursing staff.Methods: The cross-sectional study involved 450 female nursing staff between 25- 50 years of age from various tertiary care hospitals who were administered the Premenstrual Tension Syndrome Rating Scale (PMTS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data was then statistically analyzed.Results: The prevalence of premenstrual symptoms was found to be 85.6% amongst the participants (according to the ACOG criteria), while the proportion of females suffering from PMS (according to DSM IVTR criteria) was 36.5%. A correlation analysis between total scores of PMTS and PSQI showed a positive, linear and significant association.Conclusions: The intensity of PMS was associated with reduction in sleep quality in present study. Further studies on PMS and sleep related parameters need to carry out in larger samples to give impetus to our findings.

“…Menstruation is a physiological process related to multiple psychosocial elements with varied attitudes being prevalent about the same [1]. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a condition that describes the physical, cognitive, affective, and behavioural symptoms that may occur cyclically during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (a week prior to the onset of menstruation) and resolves within days of onset of menstruation [2][3][4]. PMS affects a major proportion of women and impairs physical, mental and social health [5], leads to loss of work days [6], affects sleep quality [7], disrupts family relations [8], reduces academic achievement and affects quality of life and productivity [9].…”

Background: Symptoms in the premenstrual period have a detrimental impact on the general health of women. There is a lack of studies examining the relationship between menstrual attitudes and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), especially in the Indian scenario. This study was conducted to look at contributing factors, frequency of PMS in different age groups and the association of these symptoms towards the attitude towards menstruation in nursing staff. Methodology: The cross-sectional study involved 450 female nursing staff between 25-50 years of age from various tertiary care hospitals who were administered the Premenstrual Tension Syndrome Rating Scale (PMTS) and Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ). The data was then statistically analyzed. Results: The prevalence of premenstrual symptoms was found to be 85.6% amongst the participants (according to the ACOG criteria), while the proportion of females suffering from PMS (according to DSM IVTR criteria) was 36.5%. On studying the association, a negatively significant correlation between scores on PMTS and mean scores of MAQ across all age groups. Conclusion: The intensity of PMS was associated with negative menstrual attitude in our study. Further studies on PMS, its frequent symptoms and relevant variables may guide psychoeducational interventions and need to carried out in larger and diverse populations to corroborate our findings.
