Amaç: Sağlıklı genç
yetişkin kadınlarda adet düzensizlikleri ile fiziksel aktivite seviyesi, uyku
düzeni, yorgunluk, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi
incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 20-40 yaşlarında olan 202 genç yetişkin
kadın katılmıştır. Bireylerin demografik ve sosyoekonomik bilgileri
kaydedilmiştir. Ayrıca yorgunluk Chalder Yorgunluk ölçeği, uyku kalitesi
Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, fiziksel aktivite seviyesi Godin Boş Zaman
Fiziksel Aktivite ölçeği, duygu durumu Beck Depresyon Ölçeği ve yaşam kalitesi
Nottingham Sağlık Profili ile incelenmiştir. Adet düzensizliği olan kadınlar
belirlenip aynı yaşta olan diğer kadınlarla sonuçları karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Adet düzensizliği olan kadınlarda fiziksel yorgunluğun ve depresif bulguların
arttığı, uyku kalitesinin, ortalama uyku süresinin ve yaşam kalitesinin
azaldığı belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızla
adet düzensizliğinin bazı fiziksel ve ruhsal etkilerinin olduğunu görülmüştür.
Herhangi bir sağlık problemi ile ilişkili olmaması durumunda göz ardı edilmesi
muhtemel olan adet düzensizliğinin günlük yaşama olan etkilerinin araştırılması
ve temelinde yatan nedenlerin bulunarak çözüm üretilmesine, kendini
gerçekleştirme, yeterli iş gücüne sahip olma, ailesel, sosyal ve toplumsal
görevlerini yerine getirme gibi kadının toplum içinde yer edinmesini sağlayacak
etmenlerin iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olabilir.
