Primer Dismenoreli Türk Kadınlarda Ağrı Şiddetine Göre Fiziksel Aktivite Düzeyi, Yaşam Kalitesi ve Menstrüel Semptomların Karşılaştırılması

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı primer dismenoreli Türk kadınlarda ağrı şiddetine göre fizikselaktivite düzeyini, yaşam kalitesini ve menstrüel semptomlarını karşılaştırılmaktı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Primer dismenoreli kadınlar (n = 333) ağrı şiddetine göre hafif, orta veşiddetli-ağrı gruplarına ayrıldı. Fiziksel ve demografik özellikler sorgulandı. Ağrı şiddeti,fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ve yaşam kalitesi sırasıyla Görsel Analog Skalası, UluslararasıFiziksel Aktivite Anketi-7 (UFAA-7) ve 36-Maddelik Kısa Form Sağlık Anketi (KF-36) iledeğerlendirildi. Menstrüel semptomlar kaydedildi. Bulgular: UFAA-7 skorları üç grup arasında fark göstermedi (p > 0,05). Şiddetli-ağrıgrubunda KF-36’nın fiziksel fonksiyon, vücut ağrısı, emosyonel ve fiziksel problemlerebağlı rol kısıtlaması skorları hafif-ağrı grubundan daha azdı (p < 0,05). Orta-ağrı grubundaKF-36’nın fiziksel fonksiyon ve vücut ağrısı skorları hafif - ağrı grubundan daha azdı (p

Comparison of Physical Activity, Quality of Life andMenstrual Symptoms by Menstrual Pain Intensity in TurkishWomen with Primary Dysmenorrhea

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare physical activity level, quality of life(QoL), and menstrual symptoms by pain intensity in Turkish women with primarydysmenorrhea.Methods: Women with primary dysmenorrhea (n = 333) were assigned to three groupsbased on pain intensity. Physical and demographic characteristics were asked. Pain intensity,physical activity level and QoL were evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale, InternationalPhysical Activity Questionnaire-7 (IPAQ-7) and Short Form-36 Health SurveyQuestionnaire (SF-36), respectively. The menstrual symptoms was recorded.Results: IPAQ-7 scores did not show significant difference among three groups (p > 0.05).Physical functioning, bodily pain, vitality, role limitations because of emotional and physicalproblems scores of SF-36 in the severe-pain group were lower than in the mild-pain group (p< 0.05). Physical functioning and bodily pain scores of SF-36 in the moderate-pain groupwere lower than in the mild-pain group (p < 0.05). Role limitations because of emotionalproblems and bodily pain scores of SF-36 in the moderate-pain group were higher than in thesevere-pain group (p < 0.05). Severe-pain group had a greater number of menstrualsymptoms than other groups (p < 0.05).Conclusions: In this study, it was observed that there was no difference between physicalactivity level and menstrual pain intensities in Turkish women having primarydysmenorrhea. In addition, women with higher menstrual pain intensity had lower QoL andhigher frequency of menstrual symptoms. Therefore, these parameters should be consideredfor management of primary dysmenorrhea.
