Abstract

Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is an important problem negatively affecting women’s life quality. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine PMS prevalence among university students and some effective risk factors on PMS. Method: Sample of this crosssectional and descriptive study involved 525 female university students. Data were collected by personal information form, ‘Premenstrual Syndrome Scale’ and assessed by using Student t, Mann Whitney U, Chi-square test and Logistic Regression Analysis. Results: PMS prevalence was 36.4% in the study. Students with PMS had higher levels of smoking (14.1%), salting foods before tasting (35.6%), receiving anxiety or depression treatment before (11.5%), feeling stressful (74.9%), premenstrual tension complaint history in mothers (56.0%) and sisters (74.2%) than students without PMS. Rate of consuming coke was lower (39.8%) in students with PMS than students without PMS (49.1%) (p = .039). PMS risk was decreased .59 times greater (p = .033) by coke consumption, 1.68 times (p = .040) by premenstrual tension complaint in mothers and 3.62 times (p = .000) by feeling stressful. Conclusion: PMS is a common problem among university students. PMS risk is decreased by coke consumption and increased by premenstrual tension complaint in mothers and feeling stressful.

Özet

Giriş: Premenstrüel sendrom (PMS) kadınların yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyen önemli bir sorundur.Amaç: Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinde PMS prevalansını ve PMS üzerine etkili olası bazı risk faktörlerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversitede okuyan 525 kız öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, kişisel bilgi formu ve ‘Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği’ ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Student t, Mann Whitney U, Ki-kare testi ve Lojistik Regresyon Analizi kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: PMS prevalansı %36.4 olarak saptanmıştır. PMS’li öğrencilerde; sigara kullanma (%14.1), yemeğin tadına bakmadan tuz atma (%35.6), geçmişte anksiyete veya depresyon tedavisi görme (%11.5), kendini stres altında hissetme (%74.9), anne (%56.0) ve kız kardeşte (%74.2) premenstrüel gerginlik şikayeti öyküsü oranlarının PMS’li olmayan öğrencilere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. PMS’li öğrencilerde (%39.8) kola tüketim oranının PMS’li olmayan öğrencilere kıyasla (%49.1) daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur (p = .039). Kola tüketmeme .59 kat (p = .033), annede premenstrüel gerginlik şikâyeti varlığının 1.68 kat (p = .040) ve kendini stres altında hissetmenin 3.62 kat (p = .000) PMS riskini arttırdığı tespit edilmiştir.Sonuç: PMS üniversite öğrencilerinde yaygın görülen bir sorundur. Kola tüketimi PMS riskini azaltmakta, annede premenstrüel gerginlik şikâyeti varlığı ve kendini stres altında hissetme ise PMS riskini arttırmaktadır.
