Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of PMS in women of reproductive age working at a state hospital, to evaluate the frequency of PMS according to socio-demographic and menstrual features of women and to determine the effect of PMS on quality of life. Method: 597 women aged 15-49 years in the reproductive age working in hospital were included in the cross-sectional study. The study group consisted of 520 women. The data was collected through Personal Information Form developed by the researcher, Turkish World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (TDSÖYKÖ-KF), Premenstrual Symptoms Impact Survey (PMSIS) and Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSÖ). Results: The prevalence of PMS in women was 51%. The prevalance of mild PMS %33, moderate PMS %16 and severe PMS was %2. The mean total score of PMSÖ was 111.42 ±35.88. According to the logistic regression analysis; PMS in women who experienced dysmenorrhea in the menstrual period was 2.85 times greater than who didn’t have any pain in menstrual period (95% CI 1.63-5.0), it was 2.3 times (95% CI 1.17-4.50) greater in the women who regarded menstruation as an uncomfortable situation than who considered it as a natural and physiological process, women who considered menstruation as one of the most important events affecting their lives was 3.02 times greater than who thought menstruation wasn’t important for them (%95 GA 0.92-9.84), and midwives were living PMS symtoms 3.46 times greater than doctors (%95 GA 0.79-15.15) and secretaries were living them 1.15 times than doctors (%95 GA 0.33-3.95).With the presence of PMS, the mean scores of all subscales of TDSÖYÖÖ-KF were lower, the PMSIS averages were higher and this was found statistically significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: PMS is widespread among working women, and this affects women's quality of life negatively. For this reason, there is a need for working women to perform PMS scans and nurses must organize training programs that will raise their awareness.
Amaç: Çalışmada; bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan üreme çağındaki kadınların premenstrual sendrom (PMS) prevalansının saptanması, kadınların sosyo-demografik, menstrual dönem özellikleri, genel sağlık durumu ve alışkanlıkları ile PMS ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi, PMS’nin yaşam kalitesine olan etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki araştırmaya hastanede çalışan üreme çağındaki (15-49 yaş) kadınların tamamı (n=597) dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma grubunu, dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan toplam 520 kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Türkçe Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği–Kısa Form (TDSÖYKÖ-KF), Adet Öncesi Yakınmalar Etki Ölçeği (Premenstrual Symptoms Impact Survey-PMSIS), Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği (PMSÖ) ile yüz yüze görüşülerek toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınlarda PMS prevalansı %51, hafif şiddette %33, orta şiddette %16 ve şiddetli olarak %2 bulunmuştur. Kadınların toplam PMSÖ ortalama puanı 111.42±35.88’dir. Lojistik regresyon analizine göre PMS; menstrual dönemde dismenore şikayeti yaşayanlarda yaşamayanlara göre 2.85 kat (%95 GA 1.63-5.0), menstruasyonu rahatsızlık verici bir durum olarak değerlendirenlerde doğal ve fizyolojik bir süreç olarak değerlendirenlere göre 2.3 kat (%95 GA 1.17-4.50), menstruasyonu yaşamlarını etkileyen en önemli olaylardan biri olarak kabul edenlerde menstruasyonun kendileri için olup olmamasının önemsiz olduğunu ifade edenlere göre 3.02 kat (%95 GA 0.92-9.84), ebelerde hekimlere göre 3.46 kat (%95 GA 0.79-15.15) ve sekreterlerde hekimlere göre 1.15 kat (%95 GA 0.33-3.95) daha fazla yaşanmaktadır. PMS varlığıyla, TDSÖYKÖ-KF tüm alt boyut puan ortalamaları daha düşük, PMSIS ortalaması daha yüksek olarak gözlenmiş olup istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: PMS çalışan kadınlarda yaygındır ve yaşam kalitelerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışan kadınlarda PMS taramalarının yapılmasına ve hemşireler tarafından farkındalıklarını artıracak eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesine ihtiyaç vardır.
