Abstract

Background and Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of COVID-19 disease on menstrual irregularity and marital adjustment of women. Method: The study was conducted with quantitative method. In the study, 147 persons were reached. The Personal Data Form and the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) were used as data collection tools. Results: The participants reported that they had situations which caused significant difference in post-COVID-19 menstrual characteristics (p<0.05). Only the score of the consensus factor of the participants from the RDAS differed in terms of pre- and post-COVID-19 periods. The mean score of consensus dropped after COVID-19 and this was significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that COVID-19 disrupted the menstrual cycle and marital adjustment of women who survived the disease.
