Abstract
:
The present study was carried out aiming to study ttle prevalence of Premenstrual Syndrome [PMS] among a group of teachers in Alexandria and to find out the relation between some determinants and PMS. The study was conducted on a sample of 500 primary school teachers in Alexandria through a cross-sectional approach. A pre-structured pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect the data. The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire [MDQ] developed and revised by Moos in 1991 was used to identify the type and intensity of symptoms during the premenstrual phase. Role acceptance scale was used to measure the womans acceptance to her feminine role. The prevalence of PMS rangedfrom 10.6% for those having high score on pain scale to 20.6% for U"lose having high score on arousal scale. Symptoms scales were positively correlated across the three cycle phases with the highest correlation between premenstrual and menstrual phases on both arousal and impaired concentration scales. Positive correlation was also found among the symptom scales with the highest correlation between impaired concentration and each of behavioral change and negative affect scales. Using stepwise logistic regression analysis, the most important determinants contributing for the high scoring on MDQ scales were cycle length [<24 days and >32 days], caffeine consumption, nulliparity, and unpredictable menses. Role acceptance and intrauterine device use had a protective effect against PMS symptoms.
