Effect of University Students’ Personality on Premenstrual Complaints

Abstract

Premenstrual syndrome is an important health issue that negatively affects girls' success at school, to attend classes, social activities and the quality of life. It is reported that there could be a relationship between complaint during premenstrual period and personality traits. This study was planned to determine the effect of the personality traits of students on complaints during premenstrual period. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 645 students that studying at Istanbul University Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Mehmet Akif Ersoy University. The data was collected with “Personal Information Form, Cervantes Personality Scale, Premenstrual Syndrome Scale” in between April-June 2014. It has been identified that 55.8% of students live premenstrual syndrome. The most common symptoms are appetite changes, bloating, irritability, depressive mood, fatigue, pain, sleep changes, depressive thoughts and anxiety. Alcohol consumption negatively affects premenstrual complaints. Premenstrual complaints are more common in the students having dysmenorrhea, mother or sister has premenstrual complaints. There was no statistically significant difference in between extraverted/introverted personality with Premenstrual Syndrome Scale scores. When unstable personality and inconsistent response increase, premenstrual complaints increase too. Students live premenstrual complaints in medium and high level. The personality characteristics should be considered while giving nursing care.
