详细描述
This study will be conducted to examine the effect of psychoeducation based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model on dysmenorrhea in nursing students.
Hypotheses of the Research
H0a: There is no difference in menstrual pain severity between the experimental group and the control group receiving psychoeducation based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model.
H0b: There is no difference between the Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale mean scores between the experimental group and the control group receiving psychoeducation based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model.
H0c: There is no difference between the Menstruation Symptom Scale mean scores between the experimental group receiving psychoeducation based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model and the control group.

研究组 & 干预措施
intervention group
Students assigned to the experimental group will be divided into groups of 6-9. 3 psychoeducation sessions will be held with each group once a week for a total of 3 weeks. Group sessions are estimated to last between 60-75 minutes. Psychoeducational content based on Leventhal's Self-Regulation Model was prepared. In the first stage, cognitive bases of dysmenorrhea, in the second stage, strategies to cope with dysmenorrhea, and in the third stage, the effectiveness of coping strategies in dysmenorrhea will be discussed. In the second stage, the participants will be taught the progressive muscle relaxation exercise, which is among the strategies to cope with dysmenorrhea. Sessions will be held online.
干预措施: psychoeducation (Other)
control group
The control group will be given a online training of 30-45 minutes covering dysmenorrhea and coping in a single session. From the first menstrual cycle after the training session is completed, measurements will be made in 3 consecutive menstrual cycles.
干预措施: training (Other)
