Ebelik Bölümü Öğrencilerinde Premenstrüel Sendrom Görülme Sıklığı ve Yaşam Tarzı ile İlişkisi

Bu çalışma, Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi ebelik lisans öğrencilerinde premenstrüel sendromun (PMS) yaygınlığını ve yaşam tarzı ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapıldı. Çalışmaya ebelik bölümünden 288 kadın lisans öğrencisi dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların antropometrik, sosyo-demografik, menstrüel ve yaşam tarzı özellikleri ile ilgili veriler veri toplama formu kullanılarak toplanırken, her katılımcıda PMS olup olmadığını belirlemek için premenstrüel sendrom ölçeği kullanıldı. PMS olan ve olmayan grupların karşılaştırılmasında ve PMS'yi en iyi öngören faktörlerin belirlenmesinde; Student's T testi, Mann Whitney U testi, Pearson'un Ki-kare testi, Ki-kare testi, Fisher'ın kesin sonuçlu olasılık testi ve çoklu değişkenli geriye dönük adımsal elemeli lojistik regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Katılımcılar arasında PMS prevalansı %51.3 idi. Ayrıca; fast-food tüketimi, vitamin/mineral takviyesi alma, gelir-gider dengesinin kötü olması, genel olarak stresli hissetme, düzensiz uyku ve adet döneminde ağrı hissetme PMS ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif ilişki gösterirken, beyaz et tüketiminin PMS ile negatif ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Çalışma popülasyonunun önemli bir bölümü PMS'den muzdaripti. Bu nedenle, sağlık hizmeti verenlerin konuya daha fazla dikkat etmesi, PMS ile ilgili konuların eğitim müfredatına dâhil edilmesi, sosyal destek ve yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri önerilmektedir.

THE PREVALENCE OF PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME AMONG MIDWIFERY STUDENTS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH LIFESTYLE

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and its relationship with lifestyle among undergraduate midwifery students at Aydin Adnan Menderes University. 288 undergraduate female midwifery students were recruited for the study. While data on the anthropometric, socio-demographic, menstrual and lifestyle characteristics of the participants were collected by using data collection form, the premenstrual syndrome scale was utilised to determine the presence/absence of PMS in each participant. Student’s T test, Mann Whitney U test, Pearson’s Chi-square test, Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test and multiple logistic regression analysis via Backward LR procedure were employed in comparing the groups with and without PMS and determining the best predicting factors for PMS. The prevalence of PMS among the participants was 51.3%. Additionally, whereas; fast-food consumption, taking vitamin /mineral supplements, poor income and expense balance, generally feeling stressed, irregular sleep and feeling pain during menstruation had a statistically significant positive relationship with PMS, consumption of white meat was found to be negatively related with PMS. A significant proportion of the study’s population suffered from PMS. Therefore, more attention from healthcare providers on the subject, the incorporation of PMS-related topics into educational curricula, social support and lifestyle modifications are recommended.
