Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between anxiety levels and menstrual symptoms in adolescents. Material and Methods: The research is a descriptive and relationship-seeking research. 602 adolescents studying in two schools were invited to the study. The sample group of the study consisted of 544 adolescents who agreed to participate in the research. Data was collected using a personal information form, Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. The relationship between two continuous variables was evaluated with the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Statistical significance level was considered as p<0.05. Results: The BAI Subjective Anxiety subscale mean score was 28.49±8.28, the Somatic Symptom subscale mean score was 17.16±5.60, and the total mean score was 45.65±13.07. MSQ Negative effects/somatic complaints subscale mean score 33.75±10.59, pain subscale mean score 20.92±6.74, coping subscale mean score 62.64±18.59, and total mean score was 117.36±34.44. Conclusion: There is a positive, moderate level and statistically significant relationship between Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire total score and Beck Anxiety Inventory total score. Anxiety level does affect menstrual symptoms in adolescents.
