Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' functional and emotional impact from dysmenorrhea and self-efficacy in clinical performance.
Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 25 May and 24 June 2022. The population of the study consisted of 199 female students studying in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of Department of Nursing, in the Faculty of Health Sciences,. 177 students who agreed to participate in the study were included in the sample of the study. Sociodemographic information form, Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale and Clinical Performance Self-Efficacy Scale were used in the process of collecting the data. In the analysis of the data, percentage, mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation analysis were used.
Results: It was determined that irritability, low back pain and fatigue (26.9%, 26.3%, 20.2%) were among the complaints frequently encountered by the students during their menstrual period, 54.2% experienced pain in each menstrual period and 10.7% were diagnosed with dysmenorrhea. According to the results of the Pearson correlation analysis of the Functional and Emotional Dysmenorrhea Scale and the Clinical Performance Self-Efficacy Scale and its sub-dimensions, a weak and negative statistically significant relationship was found between them (p˂0.05). It was determined that as the students' level of functional and emotional exposure to dysmenorrhea increased, their self-efficacy perceptions regarding clinical performance decreased.
Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that nursing students' level of being affected by dysmenorrhea negatively affected their self-efficacy perceptions in clinical performance. It is important to implement regulations such as menstrual leave practices for nursing students and health professionals in order not to affect the perception of self-efficacy in clinical performance due to dysmenorrhea.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin dismenoreden fonksiyonel ve emosyonel olarak etkilenme durumu ile klinik performansta öz yeterlik arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırma 25 Mayıs-24 Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Araştırmanın evrenini Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü 2, 3 ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören 199 kız öğrenci oluşturdu. Araştırmanın örneklemine çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 177 öğrenci alındı. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik bilgi formu, Fonksiyonel ve Emosyonel Dismenore Ölçeği ve Klinik Performansta Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma ve Pearson korelasyon analizi uygulandı.
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin adet döneminde sık karşılaştıkları şikayetler arasında sırasıyla sinirlilik, bel ağrısı ve halsizlik (%26.9, %26.3, %20.2) olduğu, %54.2’sinin her adet döneminde ağrı şikayeti yaşadığı ve %10.7’sinin dismenore tanısı aldığı belirlendi. Öğrencilerin Fonksiyonel ve Emosyonel Dismenore Ölçeği ile Klinik Performansta Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği ve alt boyutlarının Pearson korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre aralarında zayıf ve negatif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edildi (p˂0.05). Öğrencilerin dismenoreden fonsiyonel ve emosyonel olarak etkilenme düzeyleri arttıkça klinik performansa ilişkin öz yeterlik algılarının azaldığı belirlendi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin dismenoreden etkilenme düzeylerinin, klinik performansta öz yeterlik algılarını olumsuz etkilediği saptandı. Dismenoreye bağlı klinik performans öz yeterlik algısının etkilenmemesi için hemşirelik öğrencileri ve sağlık profesyonellerine yönelik menstrüel izin uygulamaları gibi düzenlemelerin hayata geçirilmesi önem taşımaktadır.
