Abstract

Objectives: This research was carried out to determine the Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) practices used by women experiencing Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Method: The sample of this descriptive study comprised 357 women who applied to the “Health Practice and Research Center Gynecology and Obstetrics” polyclinic of a university in Turkey. Study data were collected by using the Personal Information Form and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) to determine the life situation of women with PMS. Results: It was determined that 82.9% of women experienced PMS and that 83.8% of women living with PMS used TCM practices. The most commonly used TCM practices of the women were determined as follows: hot application on abdomen (90.7%), hot shower (85.1%), fennel tea (26.2%), walking (23.8%), massage (21.8%), yoga (11.7%), and music (10.5%). Almost all of the women undertook hot application to the abdomen, hot showers, massages, walking, and yoga (99.1%-99.5%-90.7%-96.6%-93.1%). Overall, 80% of the women who listened to music and 60% of the women who drank fennel tea experienced benefits as a result. Conclusion: PMS is a commonly observed health issue among women, and many frequently use TCM practices to cope. Hot applications were found to be the most commonly used TCM.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırma, Premenstrual Sendrom (PMS) yaşayan kadınların kullandıkları Geleneksel ve Tamamlayıcı Tıp (GETAT) uygulamalarının belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye’de bir üniversitenin “Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum” polikliniğine başvuran 357 kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve PMS yaşama durumunu belirlemek amacıyla Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği (PMSÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınların %82,9’unun PMS yaşadığı, PMS yaşayan kadınların %83,8’inin GETAT uygulamalarını kullandığı belirlenmiştir. PMS yaşayan kadınların en çok kullandıkları GETAT uygulamaları sırasıyla karına sıcak uygulama (%90.7), sıcak duş (%85.1), rezene çayı (%26.2), yürüyüş (%23.8), masaj (%21.8), yoga (%11.7) ve müzik (%10.5) olarak belirlenmiştir. Karına sıcak uygulama yapan, sıcak duş alan, masaj, yürüyüş ve yoga yapan kadınların tamamına yakını (%99.1-%99.5-%90.7-%96.6-%93.1), müzik dinleyenlerin %80’i, rezene çayı içenlerin %60’ı yarar görmüştür. Sonuç: PMS kadınlarda yaygın görülen bir sağlık sorunudur ve başa çıkmak için sıklıkla GETAT uygulamalarını kullanırlar. Kadınlar tarafından en yaygın kullanılan yöntem sıcak uygulamalardır.
