简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Pilates exercise and Whatsapp text message-based support program on PMS symptoms experienced by university female students.
详细描述
In this study, it will be answered whether the Pilates exercise and the support program based on Whatsapp text messages have an effect on the PMS symptoms experienced by university female students. Demographic information of the participants will be collected with the Personal Information form. The personal information form is a form prepared by the researchers with the support of the literature, consisting of 21 questions aiming to obtain information about the socio-demographic characteristics, menstrual characteristics, and lifestyle behaviors of the students. PMS symptoms will be evaluated with the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale. First of all, the premenstrual syndrome scale will be applied by trying to reach all 380 female students studying at the school. Afterward, 68 students with PMS who meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into 34 intervention and 34 control groups by simple randomization. In order to prevent interaction between the intervention and control group students in the randomization, the places where the students stay (home, dormitory rooms) will be taken into account. A support program including pilates exercise and WhatsApp text messages will be applied to the initiative group for 8 weeks. No attempt will be made on the control group.

结局指标
主要结局
Premenstrual syndrome scale (PMSS)
时间窗: Baseline
The premenstrual syndrome scale (PMSS) aims to measure the severity of symptoms. The scale consists of 44 items in 5-point Likert type. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was determined as 0.75. As stated in the PMSS directive, while filling out the scale, the participants should mark according to the symptoms they felt one week before the period. In scoring the scale, the "Never" option is 1 point, the "Very little" option is 2 points, the "Sometimes" option is 3 points, the "Frequently" option is 4 points, and the "Constantly" option is evaluated. as 5 points. While evaluating the PMSS results, the presence of PMS is evaluated according to the condition of passing 50% of the highest score that can be obtained from the total and subscale scores. The highest possible score for the total score is 220, 50% of which is 110. A score above 110 points on the scale indicates the presence of PMS.
