简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of nutrition education-based intervention on PMS severity, perceived stress, and lifestyle-related outcomes among the students at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology
详细描述
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), occurring during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and spontaneously resolving after menstruation begins, is a prevalent psychological and somatic disorder among women of reproductive age.Lifestyle modifications can help alleviate PMS symptoms, including dietary changes (such as reducing salt and sugar intake or increasing consumption of vegetables and fruits), engaging in regular physical activity, stress management, and avoiding smoking.This study is a parallel, unblinded, randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of nutrition education-based intervention on PMS severity, perceived stress, and lifestyle-related outcomes in Chinese college students. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the nutrition education-based intervention group (NEI) and the control group. The nutrition education-based intervention program will span 6 weeks. The participants in the "passive" control group will receive no further intervention and will each be provided with The PMS Management Booklet. Data will be collected through online surveys at baseline, post-intervention, and at 1-month and 3-month follow-up points after the completion of the intervention. Data analysis will be performed using SPSS 26.0.
