Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was to identify factors associated with premenstrual syndromes based on women's subjective assessment and investigate problems related to menstruation in female college students.
Methods: The data was collected by questionnaires from 558 nursing students in a university in Gyeonggi, Korea. The data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS 21.0 program, using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple response and multiple logistic regression.
Results: The problems related to menstruation included irregular menstrual cycle, severe dysmenorrhea, no menstruation, abnormal uterine bleeding, and menorrhagia. Influential factors on premenstrual syndrome revealed dysmenorrhea (β=.467, p<.001), perceived stress status (very high) (β=.155, p<.001), perceived stress status (high) (β=.119. p=.002), perceived health status (very poor) (β=.102, p=.006), and smoking (β=.087, p=.016) in female college students.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that active management and intervention regarding menstruation disorders and premenstrual syndrome are required.
