Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the academic stress, menstrual attitude, and dysmenorrhea of adolescents and to understand their effects on dysmenorrhea. The subjects of the study were high school girls and 131 people who agreed to participate in the study were analyzed. Correlation analysis shows that the more negative the person is about menstruation, the more severe the physical symptoms, the more active the action, and the greater the emotional change, the more severe the person experienced dysmenorrhea. Factors affecting dysmenorrhea in adolescents were physical symptoms and positive acceptance among menstrual attitudes, and 68.8 percent explained the variable. In conclusion, considering the positive acceptance of menstruation and physical symptoms of adolescents, it is necessary to develop educational programs that provide integrated knowledge to manage dysmenorrhea in school health, and further individual and multidimensional approaches such as emotional support programs for negatively experienced emotions.

본 연구는 청소년의 학업스트레스와 월경 태도, 월경곤란증 실태를 살펴보고 월경곤란증에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 대상자는 고등학생 여학생으로 연구 참여에 동의한 131명의 설문지가 분석되었다. 상관관계 분석 결과, 월경에 대해 부정적인 태도를 가질수록, 신체 증상이 심할수록, 적극적인 대처를 할수록, 정서적 변화가 클수록 월경곤란증을 심하게 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 청소년의 월경곤란증에 영향을 미치는 요인은 월경 태도 중 신체 증상과 월경에 대한 수용이었으며, 변수에 대한 설명력은 68.8%였다. 결론적으로 청소년의 월경곤란증에 영향을 미치는 요인인 정적 수용 및 신체 증상을 고려하여 학교 보건 차원에서 청소년의 월경곤란증을 관리하기 위한 통합적인 지식을 제공할 수 있는 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 더 나아가 부정적으로 경험하게 되는 감정조절을 위한 정서적 지지 프로그램과 같은 개별적이고 다차원적인 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
