Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out with students of the School of Health, the Department of Midwifery, Van Yuzuncu Yil University to determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea experienced by the students, its effects on their school and social life, and the methods that the students use to deal with dysmenorrhea. Materials and Methods: For this study, the data were obtained by Visual Analogue Scale and questionnaire method. SPSS 22 statistical program was used to evaluate the data. Descriptive statistics and chi square analysis were used in the statistical evaluation. Results: In this survey, 98% of the students had dysmenorrhea and during that period, only 22.5% went to the doctor for this reason, 15.5% were not able to go to the school, 16.8% did not enjoy life, and 4.5% wanted to die due to dysmenorrhea. The Visual Analog Scale score was found to be significantly related to the problems in school and social life. Conclusion: This study has shown that although the frequency and severity of dysmenorrhea seen among the students are very high, the rate of referring to a doctor is low. Students were found to have problems with family, school and social life due to dysmenorrhea and other complaints during this period such as problems with school attendance and exams.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Van Sağlık Yüksekokulu Ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin dismenore sıklığını, dismenorenin okul ve sosyal yaşantılarına etkilerini, dismenore ile başa çıkmakta kullandıkları yöntemleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu araştırma için veriler Visual Analog Skala ve anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 22 istatistik programı kullanılmıştır. İstatistiki değerlendirmede tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve ki kare analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada öğrencilerin %98'inin dismenore yaşadığı ve süreç içerisinde, sadece %22.5'unun bu nedenle doktora gittiği, %15.5'inin bu dönemde okuluna gidemediği, %16,8'inin bu dönemde hayattan keyif alamadığı ve %4,5'inin dismenore nedeniyle ölmeyi istediği zamanların olduğu belirlenmiştir. Visual Analog Skala puanı ile okul ve sosyal yaşamındaki problemler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışma öğrencilerde dismenore görülme sıklığının ve şiddetinin oldukça yüksek olduğunu, buna karşılık doktora başvurma oranlarının düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin dismenore ve bu dönemdeki diğer şikayetleri nedeniyle aile, okul ve sosyal yaşantılarında sorunlar yaşadıkları, okula devam ve sınav başarısıyla ilgili problemleri olduğu belirlenmiştir.
