Abstract

Purpose: This study was to identify factors associated with premenstrual syndromes based on women's subjective assessment and investigate problems related to menstruation in female college students. Methods: The data was collected by questionnaires from 558 nursing students in a university in Gyeonggi, Korea. The data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS 21.0 program, using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple response and multiple logistic regression. Results: The problems related to menstruation included irregular menstrual cycle, severe dysmenorrhea, no menstruation, abnormal uterine bleeding, and menorrhagia. Influential factors on premenstrual syndrome revealed dysmenorrhea (${\beta}=.467$, p<.001), perceived stress status (very high) (${\beta}=.155$, p<.001), perceived stress status (high) (${\beta}=.119$. p=.002), perceived health status (very poor) (${\beta}=.102$, p=.006), and smoking (${\beta}=.087$, p=.016) in female college students. Conclusion: The findings suggest that active management and intervention regarding menstruation disorders and premenstrual syndrome are required.
