ÖZETAmaç: Bu çalışma ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin menstruasyon döneminde yaşadıkları semptomları ve etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel tiptedir.  Araştırmanın evrenini, 2015-2016 eğitim-öğretim döneminde ebelik bölümüne kayıtlı 289 öğrenci, örneklemi ise araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 269 öğrenci oluşturdu. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve Menstruasyon Semptom Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik dağılım, ortalama, korelasyon, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve bağımsız gruplarda t-testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.39±1.54, %34.9’u birinci sınıf ve %27.9’u Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi'ndendir. Katılımcıların; yaş, ilk menstruasyon yaşı, menstruasyon süresi ve sigara içme durumları ile menstrual semptomlar arasında anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Öğrencilerde yaş arttıkça (r=0.122, p=0.046), ilk menstruasyon yaşı küçüldükçe (r= -0.130, p= 0.033) ve menstruasyon süresi uzadıkça (r=0.123, p=0.044) menstrual semptom (somatik yakınmalar, menstrual ağrı belirtileri) görülme oranı artmaktadır. Sigara içenlerde menstrual şikayetler daha fazla görülmektedir (t= 2.061, p=0.04).Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin, yaşadıkları menstrual semptomların orta derecede olduğu saptandı.
