To assess premenstrual changes in adolescents, a self rating retrospective premenstrual assessment from(PAF) and a prospective daily rating form(DRF) were administered to 230 high school students who reported premenstrual changes. The results were as follows 1) According to typological categories of retrospective premenstrual assessment form, the most commonly reported changes in mood and behavior were major depressive syndrome(40.0%), impulsive syndrome(20.9%). Especially among the subtype of depressive syndrome, hostility feature and withdrawal feature were most frequent. The most commonly reported changes in physical condition were general discomfort(73.5%), fatigue(33.9%). 50.9% of all subjects reported impaired social function. 2) 41.2% of the subjects who met the criteria for typological categories of retrospective premenstrual assessment form were confirmed by prospective daily rating form. 3) According to different criteria of percent change method of assessing symptom change, 38.7% of all subjects had at least one mild premenstrual change and 23.5% had at least one moderate premenstrual change. 4) Using prospective daily rating form, overall psychological changes were confirmed more frequently than physical changes. Of the mild premenstrual changes, 'low energy, tired & weak', 'less or impaired work' were most common changes. Of the moderate premenstrual changes, the most common change was 'low energy, tired & weak'. 5) As attitude toward menstruation, 44.9% of the subjects with confirmed premenstrual changes had more negative attitude(disgusted) toward menstruation. 6) The subjects with confirmed mild or moderate premenstrual changes had only dysphoric mood changes or both physical and dysphoric mood changes, but did not have only physical changes. These results suggest that retrospective reports of premenstrual changes were partially confirmed by daily prospective ratings. A substantial number of adolescents appeared to experience premenstrual changes, and the most common confimed premenstrual change of mild or moderate severity was 'low energy, tired and weak'.

This study was designed to determine the frequency of premenstrual dysphoric disorder in gynecological outpatients, and also attempted to compare premenstrual change characteristics, functional impairment due to premenstrual changes and frequency of risk factors reported by women with confirmed premenstrual changes$(PMC^+)$(n=17) and those without confirmed premenstrual changes$(PMC^-)$(n=23). Forty gynecological outpatients who complained of premenstrual discomforts were asked to complete questionnaires on menstrual history, obstetric-gynecological history, and premenstrual change and functional impairment. The women were also asked to complete a daily rating form based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for one menstrual cycle. Absolute severity method, effect size method and percent change method were used to assess changes between follicular phase and luteal phase. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The frequency of premenstrual dysphoric disorder according to each of the three methods was 5% for the absolute severity method, 15% for the effect size method, and 27.5% for the percent change method. 2) The frequently reported symptoms were as follow: physical symptoms(64.7%) : lethargy, easy fatigability, or marked lack of energy(41.2%) : decreased interest in usual activities(29.4%) ; and marked affective lability(23.5%). 3) There were no significant differences in onset ages of premenstrual changes, regularities of premenstrual changes and changes of severity and duration of premenstrual symptoms over time between women with and without confirmed premenstrual changes. However, women with confirmed premenstrual changes reported both physical and emotional symptoms as earliest symptoms most frequently, while women without confirmed premenstrual changes reported only physical symptoms most frequently. 4) functional impairment was significantly higher in women with confirmed premenstrual changes than those without confirmed premenstrual changes, but impairment was not severe. 5) No differences were found between women with and without confirmed premenstrual changes in risk factors including demographic data, menstrual and obstetric and gynecological history. These results suggest that the prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder varies with scoring methods. The women with confirmed premenstrual changes reported physical symptoms most frequently(64.7%). functional impairment was significantly higher in women with confirmed premenstrual changes, but impairment was not severe.

연구목적 : 월경전기증후군에서 나타나는 증상 양상, 가족력, 높은 정서장애의 유병율은 이 질환의 정서장애와의 관련성을 시사해 주며 한편, 월경주기에 따른 정서장애 임상경과의 변화도 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 정신과 외래 통원 치료를 받고 있는 정서장애 환자군과 대조군을 대상으로 하여 월경전기변화의 양상과 정도를 비교하고 일상 및 직업 생활에의 영향 및 환자군에서의 월경전기변화에 대한 가능성 있는 위험 요인들을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 본 연구는 정신과 외래 통원 치료를 받고 있는 여성 정서장애 환자 80명과 정상 대조군 80명을 대상으로 하였다. 월경전기변화는 DSM-IV 월경전기불쾌기분장애의 진단기준 A를 세분화한 4점 척도의 16항목으로 구성된 자기 평가 형식의 설문지를 통해 후향적인 방법으로 평가되었다. 결과 : 1) 월경전기변화의 항목 중 한가지 이상에서 중등도 이상의 변화를 경험하는 월경전기변화군이 정서 장애 환자군은 32.6%. 대조군은 50%로 환자군에서 대상이 적었다. 2) 월경전기변화군에서 대조군은 기분 또는 행동 변화와 신체적인 변화를 호소하는 경우가 비슷한 분포로 나타났으나, 환자군은 기분 또는 행동 변화만을 호소하는 경우가 유의하게 많았다. 월경전기변화군에서 대조군은 신체적인 변화인 유방 통증의 빈도가 가장 높았던 반면 환자군에서는 기분이나 행동 변화인 피로감과 무기력의 빈도가 가장 높았다. 3) 대조군은 기분이나 행동 변화와 신체적인 변화가 많을수록 일상이나 사회 생활에 심한 장애를 경험하는 반면 환자군에서는 기분 또는 행동 변화만이 빈도가 높을수록 심한 일상이나 사회 생활의 장애를 경험하였다. 4) 환자군에서 월경전기변화군은 월경전기변화가 없는 군에 비해 월경통을 보고하는 경우가 유의하게 많았으며, 그 심각도는 월경전기변화의 빈도와 상관 관계를 나타내었다. 결론 : 정서 장애 환자군의 월경전기변화는 신체적 변화보다 기분 행동 변화가 두드러지는 특성을 보였다. 이들 환자군의 월경전기변화는 기존 질환의 월경전기악화 또는 기존 질환과 동반되는 월경전기증후군의 가능성을 제시해 준다. 또한, 환자군에서는 월경전기변화 특히 기분 또는 행동 변화의 빈도가 높을수록 심한 일상 생활의 장애를 경험하였다. 따라서, 정서장애 환자에서의 월경전기변화에 대한 정확한 평가와 이에 대한 적절한 치료 전략의 수립이 필요하리라 본다.

본 연구는 월경전기 평가서(PAF)의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하고자 하였다. 서울시내 모 여고생 300명을 대상으로 PAF를 실시하여 검사 실시 상의 신뢰성이 의심되는 것을 제외한 250명 중에서 월경전기에 불편감을 느끼는가라는 질문에 예라고 응답한 230명의 자료에 대해 통계분석을 하였다. 피험자의 평균 연령은 $16.8{\pm}30.71$세, 초경연령은 $13.1{\pm}61.12$세였다. PAF 95문항의 평균과 반응빈도를 살펴본 결과 모든 문항에 골고루 응답되어 PMS의 다양성을 확인할 수 있었고 그 중에서도 한국 청소년의 주된 월경전기증상을 반영하는 것으로 보이는 21개 문항을 확인할 수 있었다. 검사의 내적 일치도는 ${\alpha}=.95$로 상당히 높아 문항의 동질성이 있음이 밝혀졌으며 검사-재검사 신뢰도는 r=.80으로 시간경과에 따른 검사의 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. 요인분석 결과 충동성 및 불안정성 요인, 우울 요인, 철수 및 사회적 기능 손상 요인, 불안 및 인지기능 손상 요인, 신체생리적 변화 요인, 전반적 불편감 요인, 안녕감 증가 요인, 기타요인의 8개 요인구조가 확인되었다. 결론적으로 타당도 연구에서는 추출된 하위 요인구조 들이 월경전기 증상을 잘 반영하고 있으며 신뢰도 연구 결과도 만족스러운 수준을 보여 PAP가 월경전기 변화를 선별평가 하는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 논의에서는 요인분석에 의한 분류체계를 Halbreich등(1982)의 주관적 평가기준에 의해 만들어진 형태학적 분류와 비교하여 보았고 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점에 대해 논의해보았다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the premenstrual syndrome and the relationships among premenstrual syndrome, automatic thought, and perfectionism. Methods: The 164 subjects were selected from a nursing college in Tae-Jeon. The data were collected using the PAF, ATQ-N, and MPS from April 10th to May 10th, 2001. Results: The results of this study were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference in premenstrual syndrome due to menarche, duration of menstruation, and menstrual cycle, but significant difference in premenstrual syndrome due to amount of menstruation and regularity of menstrual cycle. 2. The subjects experienced mild premenstrual syndrome. The severe premenstrual syndromes above the mean were who subjects reported general physical discomfort, fatigue, low mood and loss of pleasure, lability and atypical depressive features, et. al., and those below the mean experienced hostility/anger, increased well-being, miscellaneous mood/behavior change, impulsive syndrome and miscellaneous physical changes, et. al. 3. The score of mean premenstrual syndrome was 236.55, that of automatic thought was 31.41 and that of perfectionism was 185.97. The premenstrual syndrome score was similar to those of other studies and subjects had low automatic thought and moderate perfectionism. 4. There were significant correlations among premenstrual syndrome, automatic thought, and perfectionism (P <. 001). 5. Automatic thought and perfectionism accounted for 17 percent of premenstrual syndrome. Conclusions: For future research, it was recommended that the study to identify major factors affecting premenstrual syndrome and the relationships between them with various subjects should be done and effective nursing intervention for premenstrual syndrome should be developed.

본 연구는 월경전기에 불편감이 있다고 응답한 230명의 여고생을 대상으로 전향적인 매일 평가서를 사용하여 월경주기에 따른 신체적, 기분, 행동변화의 양상을 보고자 하였다 '월경전 불쾌기분장애'로 확인된 군과 전체대상군 모두에서 후기황체기에 신체적 , 심리적 증상들이 뚜렷한 악화를 보이기 시작하여 월경이 시작되면서 증상의 최고치를 나타냈으며, 월경시작4일째에 급격한 감소를 보였다. 또한 월경주기중에서 특히 월경기때에 보다많이 신체적인 불편감을 경험하고 있고, 이때 월경기간이 길수록 불편감이 큰 것으로 보여진다. 이러한 양상들은 젊은 여성의 월경전기 변화 양상을 대표할 수는 없으나, 본 대상군이 여고생임을 감안할 때 우리나라 청소년의 월경주기에 따른 고유한 증상의 변화양상을 보여주는 것이라고 할 수 있겠다.

This study was planned and carried out to investigate the correlation between premenstrual syndrome and personality in order to provide informations basic to the prevention, alleviation, and care for the premenstrual syndrome. Data on premenstrual syndrome were gatherd from October 20 to 25, 1986 by questionnaire modified by the researcher based on Endicott's Premenstrual Assessment Form. Reliability of the instrument was tested by Cronbach's $\alpha$. Data on personality were gathered in March, 1986, by the high school autorities by standardized Personality Inventory Scale developed by Eung Yun Hwang were used. Subjects numbered 457, 95.2% of the first grade students of H. Girls High School located in Seoul. The correlation and difference between personality traits and premenstrual syndrome analysed by Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and difference between groups were analysed by the t-test. Personality traits influencing premenstrual syndromal categories were analysed by the multiple regression. The results are as follows : I. The five highist categories of premenstrual syndrome among 18 categories revealed to be Social withdrawal, General discomfort, Lability, Fatigue and Hostility / Anger in rank order. II. Personality traits and Premenstrual syndrome ; 1. Tendency of Psychoneuroses(r＝0.43, p＜.001), psychoses(r＝.39, p＜.001) and anti-social behaviors (r＝0.43, p＜.001) revealed to be significantly correlated to premenstrual syndrome. Hypothesis 1 is accepted. 2. Emotional stability(r＝ -0.38, p＜.001), reflectiveness (r＝ -0.14, p＜.01), masculinity (r＝ -0.10, p＜05) and antonomy (r＝ -0.12, p＜.05) revealed significant correlation, While activity, dominance, sociability and achivement revealed no significant correlation. Hypothesis 2 is partially accepted. III. Significant models of personality traits influencing the premenstrual syndromal categories are ; 1. 5 personality traits : tendency of psychoneuroses, emotional stability, dominance, activity and autonomy revealed to influence Low mood / loss of pleasure significantly. ($R^2$＝.19) 2. 3 personality traits ; tendency of psychoneuroses, emotional stability and sociability revealed to influence Lability significantly.

Reports about the prevalence of premenstrual symptoms state that occurs in 20 to 100% of most reproductive-age women. There is a close association between premenstrual syndrome and affective disorders as well as same some other psychiatric disorders. Late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LLPDD) is a premenstrual condition defined in DSM-III-R by severe mood changes and other symptoms that repeatedly occur only in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. However, DSM-III-R does not specify how to compute the change from the follicular to the luteal phase or how to determine when the amount of change is great enough to warrant the diagnosis nor how to determine occupational or social functional impairment. This study was conducted to evaluate the nature, severity and magnitude of premenstrual syndrome in women with current psychiatric disorders by using prospective Daily Rating Form(DRF), and to measure symptom changes according to three scoring methods for diagnosing LLPDD. Our study obtains the data about premenstrual changes estimated by DRF from 22 women with psychiatric disorders who had met criteria for major depressive syndrome on the Premenstrual Assessment Form (PAF). The data was scored by each three methods and was determined to meet criteria A for LLPDD. The results are as follows: 1) the subjects, when scored according to the percent change method, effect size method and absolute severity method, met the DSM-III-R criteria A for LLPDD in 36.4% (8 subjects), 14% (3 subjects) and 4.5% (1 subject) of the cases respectively. 2) The items of irritability, anger and impatience were occurred most frequently on the DRF, when it was scored according to the three scoring methods. And the item of breast pain was next frequent according to the effect size method and the percent change method but according to the absolute severity method. 3) The PAF item of impaired social functioning was reported by 16 (73%) of the subjects. 4) 4 (18%) of the subjects met criteria A for LLPDD and reported impaired social functioning. The prevalency of LLPDD according to each method varied. The percent change method yielded the greatest (36.4%), and the absolute seventy method yielded the laest (4.5%), The effect size method yielded an intermediate frequency (14%). Therefore, for maximizing the diagnostic accuracy of LLPDD, a diagnostic procedure including a measure of change (e.q., effect size method, percent change method) as well as confirmed diagnosis by DRF, will be needed. Also, an accurate tool to evaluate impaired social functioning will be required.
