Purpose: This study was performed to measure the influence of premenstrual syndrome coping strategies and food cravings on premenstrual syndrome symptoms among female college students.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was done with the participation of 509 female college students in D city. Data were analyzed using a t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficients, and Hierarchical multiple regression.
Results: The average scores for PMS coping mechanisms, food cravings, and premenstrual syndrome symptoms were 1.58, 2.32, and 2.82, respectively. There were significant differences in PMS symptoms according to food, menarcheal age, menstrual amount, menstrual pain and whether their mother or sister has dysmenorrhea. The factors influencing premenstrual syndrome symptoms of female college students were identified as avoidance (¥â=-.16, p<.001), menstrual cycle specific (¥â=-.11, p=.013), and cognitive restraint on eating (¥â=.13, p=.026). This factor explained 35% of female college students' premenstrual syndrome symptoms.
Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate stress coping measures for the subjects.
