结局指标
主要结局
Identifying Coping with Premenstrual Change
时间窗: One month after the post-test, the Coping with Premenstrual Change Scale is administered to all students in both groups as a follow-up assessment.
"Coping with Premenstrual Change Scale (PMS-Coping)" It has 17 items and three sub-dimensions (Seeking Positive Affecting Behaviors, Seeking Support, Health Care Utilization Behavior). The items of the scale are answered on a 4-point Likert scale. The scale includes the options of "strongly disagree" (1 point), "not sure" (2 points), "agree" (3 points) and "strongly agree" (4 points). The minimum score is 17 and the maximum score is 68. In the instructions of the scale, it is asked to answer by thinking about the days before menstruation starts. The scale is used to describe the methods used to cope with premenstrual change in women.
Determining the level of premenstrual syndrome
时间窗: One month after the post-test, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale is administered to all students in both groups as a follow-up assessment.
It is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 44 questions measuring the severity of premenstrual symptoms. The scale has a total of nine sub-dimensions including Depressive Affect, Anxiety, Fatigue, Irritability, Depressive Thoughts, Pain, Appetite Changes, Sleep Changes, and Bloating. The application of the premenstrual syndrome scale is carried out by retrospectively evaluating the person by taking into account the status of "being within one week before menstruation". "PMSQ Total Score" is obtained from the sum of the scores obtained from all sub-dimensions. A minimum of 44 and a maximum of 220 points can be obtained from the scale. An increase in the score indicates an increase in the intensity of PMS symptoms.
