Abstract

Objective: This research aims to reveal
the influence of sleep hygiene interventions on premenstrual syndrome.

Material and Methods: In the study was used a pre-test post-test non-randomized, control group desing. This
study, which was included a total of 88 (intervention
group n=47; control group n=41) women with PMS. The intervention group
participants were used sleep hygiene intervention. In the first step, the
participants in the intervention group received sleep hygiene education. In the
second step, the participants of the intervention group used the sleep hygiene
intervention for two menstrual cycles. Data were obtained by using premenstrual syndrome scale (PMS scale) and Pittsburgh Sleep
Quality Index (PSQI) in pre-intervention and post-intervention (1^th menstruation
and 2^nd menstruation period).

Results:
The results obtained from the study showed that there
was no significant
difference between two groups, both
the 1^st menstruation and 2^nd menstruation PSQI scores
(p>0.05) and PMS scale score (p>0.05). Nevertheless, when the differences
in the 1^th menstruation and 2^nd menstruation PMS scale
scores of the two groups were compared, a statistically significant improvement
was detected (p<0.001).

Conclusions:
Sleep hygiene intervention may be useful to reduce
premenstrual symptoms in women.

Premenstrual Sendromlu Kadınlarda Uyku Hijyen Girişimlerinin Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışma premenstrual sendromda uyku hijyen eğitimlerinin
etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır.

Gereç
ve Yöntem: Çalışmada,
pre-test post-test, non-randomize, control grup tasarım kullanıldı. Çalışma,
premenstrual sendromlu 88 kadınile gerçekleştirildi (Girişim grubu= 47; Kontrol
Grubu n=41). Girişim grubunda yer alan katılımcılar uyku hijyen girişimlerini kullandı.
Çalışmanın birinci adımında, girişim grubunda yer alan katılımcılara uyku hijyen
eğitimi yapıldı. İkinci adımda, girişim grubundaki katılımcılar iki menstrual
siklus boyunca uyku hijyen girişimlerini uyguladılar. Veriler, girişim öncesi ve
girişim sonrası (1.menstruasyon ve 2.menstruasyon) Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği
(PMSÖ), Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Ölçeği (PUKÖ) kullanılarak elde edildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda, girişim grubunun
ve control grubunun hem PMSÖ puanları hem de PUKÖ puanlarının takip sürecinde benzer
olduğu, gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde fark olmadığı belirlendi
(p>0.05).

Bununla birlikte, 1.menstruasyon ve 2.menstruasyon PMSÖ
puan farkları gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldığında, gruplar arasında istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı fark bulunduğu belirlendi. Deney grubunun PMSÖ puanları, takip sürecinde,
kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde azalmıştı (p<0.001).

Tartışma: Premenstrual semptom yaşayan kadınların, uyku hijyen girişimlerini
kullanması, premenstrual semptomlarının azaltılmasında yardımcı olabilir.
