研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of yoga practice on pain intensity, menstruation symptoms and quality of life in nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. The hypothesis of this study is that yoga reduces pain and menstrual symptom severity and improves quality of life.
详细描述
In the study, 52 students will be randomly assigned to intervention (yoga) and control groups. The researcher will provide information about the purpose of the study and the study process by interviewing all the students in the sample online. All students participating in the study, who are in the yoga or control group of the study, will be given a data collection form as a pre-test by the researcher.
Hatha yoga will be applied to the students (n = 26) in the yoga group in the study. Considering the studies conducted with these students, it is planned to practice Hatha yoga for 60 minutes twice a week for three menstrual cycles (12 weeks). Yoga practice will be done online by the researcher Aslıhan Aksu (A.A.), who has a Yoga Alliance-approved yoga instructor certificate, on the determined days and times using appropriate platforms. In the control group (n=26), no intervention will be made for 12 weeks. The results will be collected through data collection forms before the yoga practice and after the 12-week yoga practice is completed. The data collection forms applied to all students in the yoga and control groups at the beginning of the study will be applied to the control group again at the end of 12 weeks. The primary expected result of the study is the effect of yoga on students' menstrual pain intensity. The secondary expected results of the study are to determine the effect of yoga on students' menstrual symptoms and quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain will evaluate using The The Short Form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire
时间窗: Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice
The main component of the The Short Form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) consists of 15 descriptors (11 sensory; 4 affective) which are rated on an intensity scale as 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. In this section, sensory (0-33 points), affective (0-12 points) and total (0-45 points) pain quality scores are obtained. The increase in the total pain scores indicates an increase in the perception of pain. The SF-MPQ also includes the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) Index of the Standard MPQ and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
次要结局
- Menstrual symptoms will evaluate using the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire(Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice.)
- Quality of life will evaluate using SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire(Change from before implementation and 12th week of practice)
