简要总结
Aim: This research was conducted to determine the effects of progressive relaxation exercise on life satisfaction, anxiety, and psychological well-being in people experiencing premenstrual syndrome.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted with students who were enrolled in a university in the east of Türkiye, studying at the undergraduate levels outside the field of health, and experiencing premenstrual syndrome. The sample of the research consisted of 162 students (Exercise group 81 participants; Control group 81 participants). The Personal Information Form, Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS), and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) were used to collect data. Women in the exercise group underwent eight sessions of relaxation exercises, once a week for 8 weeks. In addition, for eight weeks after the first exercise, the participants exercised at home, at least twice a week, outside of the training. The PMSS, LSS, BAS, and PWBS were applied as post-tests to the participants in both groups, 8 weeks after the pre-tests.

结局指标
主要结局
Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)
时间窗: 8 weeks
It is a 44-item Likert-type scale developed by Gençdoğan (2006) that measures the severity of premenstrual symptoms. The scale has nine subscales, and the "PMSS total score" consisting of the scores related to the subscales and the total of the scale is obtained. The application of PMSS is done by retrospectively evaluating the person's status "one week before menstruation". The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 44 and the highest score is 220. The higher the score, the more intense the premenstrual syndrome symptoms are considered. The highest score that can be obtained for the total score is 220, 50% of which is 110 points. Therefore, those who score 111 and higher have PMS in terms of total score.
