Detailed Description

Changes that gradually disappear with the onset of menstruation in women are called premenstrual syndrome.In this syndrome, anxiety, irritability, lack of concentration, depression, mood swings, drowsiness, sleep disturbance, breast tenderness, appetite change, bloating, headache, weight gain, abdominal pain, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms are observed. Since these symptoms negatively affect both the work and personal lives of women, safe and effective treatments are needed. In this case, many women report using exercise as a strategy to help them cope with PMS, and exercise is often recommended for symptom management.PMS can also play a role in symptoms by affecting the individual's food choices. Emotional eating behavior is defined as a person's use of food as an escape from negative emotions and can lead to many conditions such as obesity, eating disorders and hormonal problems. Health promotion means increasing one's control over one's health by improving one's own health. It enables the individual to improve their physical and social environment, change their behavior, and reach the best level of physical and mental health. Philips 66 technique is a process based on active learning, problem and collaborative learning theory, student-centered, and uses the best learning techniques to improve students' performance and realize meaningful learning activity. It is among the responsibilities of healthcare personnel to identify the factors that negatively affect women's lives in order to ensure continuity of health, ease of premenstrual symptoms, and to use the findings to improve women's health. Nurses have important duties in this regard due to their roles such as health education, health protection, development and consultancy.

It will be applied according to the Philips 66 technique. In the fourth stage, 4 weeks after the first training, general reminder training will be given online during students' pms periods. In the fifth stage, 4 weeks after the second training, survey forms will be filled out by the experimental group and the control group.
