To collect data a questionnaire form, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used. Results: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in students was 82.4%. Eighty-two percent of the students with dysmenorrhea had poor sleep quality.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma dismenore prevalansını ve dismenore ile uyku kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan toplam 250 gönüllü üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veri toplamak için bir anket formu, Görsel Analog Ölçeği (VAS) ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKI) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu grupta dismenore prevalansı %82.4 elde edilmiştir. Dismenoresi olan öğrencilerin %82’sinin uyku kalitesinin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Menstrüel dönemde uyku bölünmesi olan öğrencilerin % 96,8'inin, uykuya dalmakta güçlük çekenlerin % 96,3'ünün dismenoresi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dismenoresi olan katılımcılarda, zayıf uyku kalitesi ile uyku bölünme sayısı, dismenore şiddeti ve daha az uyku süresi arasında farklı düzeylerde korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonucunda dismenorenin uyku kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlara doğrultusunda, dismenoreli öğrencilerin belirlenmesi ve uyku kalitelerini iyileştirmek için bununla başa çıkma yöntemleri konusunda eğitim verilmesi önerilebilir.
