Abstract

Amaç: Düşük gelir, düşük eğitim, kalabalık veya tek ebeveynli bir ailede yaşama gibi demografik özellikler, genç kızların ağrı, kaygı, kanama gibi premenstürel ve menstürel semptomlarını artırmakta ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimlerini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, genç kızların sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile menstürel semptomları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve sosyodemografik özelliklerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırma, İstanbul ili Beylikdüzü ilçesinde tam zamanlı eğitim veren dört liseden 3 Şubat 2020 - 1 Mart 2020 tarihleri arasında 1130 öğrenci üzerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya aileleri onam veren gönüllü öğrenciler katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için Kişisel Tanılama Formu, Menstrüel Semptom Ölçeği ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Tarzı Davranış Ölçeği-II kullanılmıştır. Analizler SPSS İstatistik versiyon 23 kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Ekonomik durum ve ağrılı adet görmenin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını olumsuz etkilemiş, çekirdek aile ile yaşamanın sağlıklı yaşam biçimidavranışlarını olumlu yönde etkilemiş; ayrıca kronik hastalık, ağrılı adet görme ve çekirdek aile dışındaki aile tipleri menstrüel semptomları olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Sonuç ve Öneriler : Kötü ekonomik durum ve ağrılı adet görme, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını olumsuz etkilerken, kronik hastalık, ağrılı adet görme ve çekirdek aile dışındaki aile tipi adet belirtilerini olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Ekonomik durumun ve diğer sosyodemografik özelliklerin menstrüel semptomları nasıl etkilediğinin daha farklı gruplarda araştırılması, literatüre daha fazla katkıda bulunabilir.

Do Economic Circumstances and Family Structures Affect Young Girls' Healthy Living Behaviors and Menstrual Symptoms?

Abstract

Aim: Demographic features such as low income, low education, and living in a crowded or single-parent family increase young girls' premenstrual and menstrual symptoms such as pain, anxiety and bleeding, and affect negatively their healthy lifestyle. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and menstrual symptoms among young girls and their sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 1,130 students from four high schools providing full-time education in the Beylikduzu district of Istanbul between February 3, 2020, and March 1, 2020. Volunteer students whose families gave consent participated in the study. A personal identification form, the Menstrual Symptom Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II (HLBS-II) were used to collect data in the study. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics version 23. Results: It was found that economic status and painful menstruation affected negatively healthy lifestyle behaviors, while living with one’s nuclear family affected positively healthy lifestyle behaviors; furthermore, chronic disease, painful menstruation, and family types other than the nuclear family affected negatively menstrual symptoms. Conclusions and Suggestions: Poor economic status and painful menstruation affected negatively healthy lifestyle behaviors, and chronic disease, painful menstruation and family type other than the nuclear family affected negatively menstrual symptoms. Researching how economic status and other sociodemographic characteristics affect menstrual symptoms in different groups may contribute to the literature more.
