Amaç: Bu araştırmada 18-49 yaş aralığındaki kadınların menstrüasyona yönelik tutum düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve menstrüel semptomlarıyla ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte planlanan araştırmanın verileri, Aralık 2023-Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye genelinde en çok tercih edilen sosyal medya platformlarından online anketler kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 18-49 yaş aralığında ve menstrüel döngüye sahip 402 kadından oluşmuştur (n=402). Veriler, literatürden faydalanılarak hazırlanan 15 soruluk Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Menstrüasyon Tutum Ölçeği ve Menstrüasyon Semptom Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bilgisayar destekli istatistik paket programıyla analiz edilen verilerde sayı, yüzde, frekans, medyan gibi tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Nonparametrik karşılaştırma testleri uygulanmış ve istatistiksel anlamlılık değeri p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ölçekler ve değişkenler arası ilişki ise Spearman Korelasyon Testiyle incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 24,37 (±6,99) olan kadınların %81,1’nin bekâr olduğu ve 103,12 (±10,28) puanla menstrüasyona yönelik olumlu tutuma sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Menstrüasyon Semptom Ölçeği’nden 70,98 (±15,83) puan alan kadınların şiddetli semptomlar yaşadıkları belirlenmiş olup çeşitli değişkenlerin tutum ve semptomlarla arasında istatistiksel anlamlı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada menstrüasyona yönelik tutum ve semptomlar arasında pozitif yönlü zayıf düzeyde ilişki tespit edilmiştir (r=0,108, p=0,031).
Sonuç: Kadınların menstrüasyona yönelik olumlu tutum sergiledikleri ancak yaygın şekilde menstrüel semptom gösterdikleri ve tutum düzeyi arttıkça semptomlarının şiddetlendiği belirlenmiştir. Menstrüel tutum ve semptom arasındaki ilişkinin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için kapsamlı çalışmaların yapılması önerilebilir.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the level of attitudes towards menstruation of women between the ages of 18-49 and to investigate the relationship with menstrüel symptoms.
Methods: The data of this descriptive and correlational research was collected between December 2023 and January 2024 by using online surveys from the most preferred social media platforms across Turkey.
The sample of the study consisted of 402 women between the ages of 18-49, with menstrüel cycles, internet access and no psychiatric diagnosis. Data were collected using a personal information form consisting of 15 questions which was prepared by using the literature, Menstruation Attitude Scale and Menstruation Symptom Scale. The data were analyzed with a computer-aided statistical package program and descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, frequency and median were used. Nonparametric comparison tests were applied and p<0.05 was accepted as statistical significance value. The relationship between the scales and variables were analyzed by Spearman correlation test.
Results: The mean age of the women was 24.37 (±6.99), 81.1% of them were single and they had a positive attitude towards menstruation with a score of 103.12 (±10.28). It was determined that women who scored 70.98 (±15.83) on the Menstruation Symptom Scale experienced severe symptoms and statistically significant results were obtained between various variables and attitudes and symptoms. In the study, a weak positive correlation was found between attitudes towards menstruation and its symptoms (r=0.108, p=0.031).
Conclusion: It was determined that women have positive attitudes towards menstruation, but they commonly show menstrual symptoms and their symptoms become more severe as the level of attitude increases. It may be recommended to conduct comprehensive studies to better understand the relationship between menstrual attitude and symptoms.
