The study was carried out to determine the prevalence and menstrual behaviors of primary dysmenoreehea of nursing students. Method: The
sample of the cross-sectional study was 584 female students who studied at a
university, volunteered for participation in the study and regularly
menstruating. Participant Information Form, Dysmenorrhea Information Form,
Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale, Menstrual Attitude Scale and
Visual Analog Scale were used for data collection. For statistical analyses,
percentages, means, student t test, Pearson correlation and one-way ANOVA
tests. Results: The prevalence of
dysmenorrhea was found to be 94%. The average response rate for DIF was
54.81±14.68 (10-90). The mean score of the students in the Functional Dysmenorrhea
subdimension is 23.25±6.88 (7-35). The mean score of Emotional Dysmenorrhea was
18.35±7.32 (7-35). The total score of the Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea
Scale was 41.61±13.04 (14-70). The mean score of Menstrual Attitude Scale was
96.33±8.98 (50-137). The level of knowledge of primary dysmenorrhea increased
with age, and those with high level of knowledge were found to have low
severity of primary dysmenorrhea. In the study, primary dysmenorrhea severe
(VAS> 6) was found to be higher among the patients who applied to the doctor
because of the complaints of primary dysmenorrhea, those who used painkiller
drugs, those who applied to nonpharmacological methods, those who had symptoms
other than pain, the family history of dysmenorrhea, and those who continued to
attend the complaints. Conclusion:
Primary dysmenorrhea prevalence was found to be high in university students.
Dysmenorrhea knowledge level and dysmenorrhea between functional and emotional
level of affect in a statistically negative direction; there is a positive
relationship with menstrual attitude.
Amaç:
Araştırma hemşirelik öğrencilerinin primer dismenore sıklığı
ve menstrual tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte planlanan araştırmanın örneklemini bir
üniversitede okuyan, çalışmaya katılımda gönüllü olan ve düzenli menstruasyon
gören 584 kız öğrenci oluşturdu. Veri toplamada Katılımcı Tanıtım Formu,
Dismenore Bilgi Formu, Fonksiyonel ve Emosyonel Dismenore Ölçeği, Menstruasyon
Tutum Ölçeği ve Vizüel Analog Skalası kullanıldı. Veriler yüzdelik dağılım,
ortalama, student t testi, Pearson korelasyon ve tek yönlü ANOVA testleriyle
değerlendirildi. Bulgular:
Araştırmada dismenore prevelansı %94 bulundu. Dismenore Bilgi Formu’nu doğru
cevap puan ortalaması 54.81±14.68 (10-90)’dir. Öğrencilerin Fonksiyonel Dismenore
alt boyutundan aldıkları puan ortalaması 23.25±6.88 (7-35)’dir. Emosyonel
Dismenore alt boyutundan alınan puan ortalaması 18.35±7.32 (7-35)’dir.
Fonksiyonel ve Emosyonel Dismenore Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 41.61±13.04
(14-70)’tür. Öğrencilerin Menstruasyon Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 96.33±8.98
(50-137)’dir. Primer dismenore bilgi düzeyinin yaşla birlikte arttığı, bilgi
düzeyi yüksek olanların primer dismenore şiddetinin düşük olduğu bulundu.
Araştırmada primer dismenore şikayeti sebebiyle doktora başvuranlarda, ağrı
kesici ilaç kullananlarda, nonfarmakolojik yöntemlere başvuranlarda, ağrı
dışında semptom yaşayanlarda, aile öyküsünde dismenore şikayeti olan bireylerin
varlığında ve şikayetlerin okula devam etmesini etkileyenlerde primer dismenore
şiddeti (VAS>6) yüksek bulundu. Sonuç:
Üniversite öğrencilerinde primer dismenore sıklığı yüksek bulundu.
Dismenore bilgi düzeyi ile dismenoreden fonksiyonel ve emosyonel olarak
etkilenme düzeyi arasında istatiksel açıdan negatif yönde; menstrual tutum ile
pozitif yönde bir ilişki vardır.
