The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between self-perception to feminity and premenstrual symptoms in women. Prospective data were obtained from 337 nurses who worked for some university hospitals located in Seoul, Kyung-gi, Kyung-book areas. Premenstrual symptoms were rated by using the Daily Record Severity of Problems(DRSP) for 1 menstrual cycle. Self-perception to feminity and masculinity was evaluated with Korea Sex Role Inventory(KSRI). Valid data obtained from 187 responders were analyzed. The prevalence rate of PMS was up to 116(62%), whereas the number of subjects without PMS was 71. Self-perception to feminity was not significantly whin two group. There was no significant negative correlation between the total score of the DRSP and the feminity score of the KSRI. Among the DRSP items, each score of ‘felt overwhelmed’and ‘felt depressed’ items showed a little but statistically significant correlation with feminity score of the KSRI. These results suggested that some mood symptoms of PMS might be related to self-perception to feminity.
