Comparison of Spine Posture, Mobility and Body Image Perception in Healthy and Primary Dysmenorrhea Women

Öz

The aim of this research was to compare spinal posture, mobility and body image perception between healthy women and women with primary dysmenorrhoea. A total of 120 women, 57 healthy and 63 with Primary dysmenorrhoea, were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 22 years in the group with primary dysmenorrhoea and 21 years in the healthy group; BMI results were 23.05 and 21.45, respectively. Participants' pain severity, attitudes towards menstruation and menstrual symptoms, physical activity levels and body image perceptions were assessed with the corresponding questionnaires. Participants' spinal posture and mobility were assessed with Spinal Mouse device. In our study, pain score of women with Primary dysmenorrhoea was higher than healthy women (p<0.001). Sacrum-hip angle (p=0.005), inclination angle (p=0.014) and mobility of these regions ((p=0.006), (p=0.001)) were lower in the Primary dysmenorrhoea group compared with the healthy group. Menstrual symptoms were more severe in women with Primary dysmenorrhoea (p<0.001) and their attitudes towards menstruation were more negative (p=0.013, p=0.003, p=0.034, p=0.023, p<0.001, p<0.001). Physical activity levels (p=0.294) and body image perceptions of Primary dysmenorrhoea and healthy women were similar (p=0.225). As a result we found that the spinal posture and mobility of women with Primary dysmenorrhoea differed negatively from healthy women and that they approached menstruation cognitively worse. These results may be important for women with Primary dysmenorrhoea to be aware of their own bodies. We think that women with Primary dysmenorrhoea should be educated about this issue.

Sağlıklı ve Primer Dismenoreli Kadınlarda Spinal Postür, Mobilite ve Beden İmajı Algısının Karşılaştırılması

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sağlıklı kadınlar ile Primer dismenoreli kadınlar arasında spinal postür, mobilite ve beden imajı algısını karşılaştırmaktı. Çalışmaya 57 sağlıklı ve 63 Primer dismenoreli olmak üzere toplam 120 kadın dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması Primer Dismenoreli grupta 22, sağlıklı grupta 21 iken; VKİ sonuçları sırasıyla 23.05 ve 21.45 olarak ölçüldü. Katılımcıların ağrı şiddeti, menstrüasyon ve menstrüel semptomlara yönelik tutumları, fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve beden imajı algıları ilgili anketlerle değerlendirildi. Katılımcıların omurga duruşu ve hareketliliği Spinal Mouse cihazı ile değerlendirildi. Çalışmamızda primer dismenoresi olan kadınların ağrı skoru sağlıklı kadınlara göre daha yüksekti (p<0.001). Sakrum-kalça açısı (p=0.005), inklinasyon açısı (p=0.014) ve bu bölgelerin mobilitesi ((p=0.006), (p=0.001)) Primer dismenore grubunda sağlıklı gruba göre daha düşüktü. Menstrüel semptomlar Primer dismenoreli kadınlarda daha şiddetliydi (p<0.001) ve Primer dismenoreli kadınların menstrüasyona yönelik tutumları daha olumsuzdu (p=0.013, p=0.003, p=0.034, p=0.023, p<0.001, p<0.001). Primer dismenoreli ve sağlıklı kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri (p=0.294) ve beden imajı algıları benzerdi (p=0.225). Araştırmanın sonucunda, Primer dismenoreli kadınların omurga duruşu ve hareketliliğinin sağlıklı kadınlardan olumsuz yönde farklı olduğunu ve menstrüasyona bilişsel olarak daha kötü yaklaştıklarını bulduk. Bu sonuçlar Primer dismenoresi olan kadınların kendi bedenlerinin farkında olmaları için önemli olabilir. Primer dismenoresi olan kadınların bu konuda eğitilmesi gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
