The Prevalence of Premenstruel Syndrome in Nursing / Midwifery Students and the Relationship Premenstruel Syndrome and Smoking Behavior

Abstract

Sigara içme durumuna göre PMS yaygınlığı karşılaştırıldığında gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Yaşamında hiç sigara denemeyenlerde PMS yaygınlığı en düşük düzeyde (%28,7) iken sigara içenlerde bu oran %52,9'dur. Öğrencilerin PMSÖ puan ortalaması 98,15 (SD=35,83) olup, sigara içme durumuna göre PMSÖ toplam ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark incelendiğinde hiç sigara denemeyenlerin puan ortalamasının, sigarayı bırakanlar ve halen içenlerden anlamlı düzeyde düşük olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Halen sigara içenlerin FNTT puanları ile PMSÖ puanları arasındaki ilişkinin anlamsız olduğu saptanmıştır (p>0.05). Sonuç: Çalışmada sigarayı denemiş olmanın PMS yaygınlığını etkilediği belirlendiğinden, sigaranın hiç denenmemesine yönelik eğitim ve danışmanlık programlarının yapılması, konuya yönelik basılı görsel araçların geliştirilmesi önerilir.

Investigation of The Relationship Between Premenstrual Syndrome and Covid-19 Psychological Distress in Nursing Students

“…It is emphasized that smoking increases the signs of PMS, therefore it should be reduced or stopped (Johnson Berton et al, 2008). Smoking causes different health problems and thus it is noted that it also plays a role in the development of PMS due to its negative effect on reproductive hormones (Kaya and Gölbaşı, 2016). In our study, the proportion of students with menstrual disorders was found to be 25.2%, and the average PMS score of these students was significantly higher.…”
