This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and the effect of dysmenorrhea on school performance.Out of a total of 209 nursing students at a Health College, 192 participated in the study. The study was carried out as descriptive and cross-sectional. The data were gathered by means of Dysmenorrhea Diagnosis Form, visual analog scale (VAS), verbal category scale, and face-to-face interviews with the participants. It was found out that 78.6% of the participants suffered from dysmenorrhea, 68.8 % were unable to study due to dysmenorrhea, and 19.8  % took medication against it. The findings also indicated that the school performance of those who suffered from severe pain were more adversely affected and that there was a statistical difference between the groups (p<0.001).It has been determined that as the severity of dysmenorrhoea  increases, going to school and studying are much more affected.
This study demonstrated that dysmenorrhea is quite prevalent and ıt negatively affects the school performance.So young people who have dysmenorrhea problems should be informed about causes of dysmenorrhea and effective methods of treatment.
