Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships between life style, menstrual distress and coping method in nursing students. The survey was conducted with 199 nursing students at a nursing college in K city. Data were collected from November 19 to December 5, 2014, and analyzed using SPSS 18.0. Of the 197 respondents, 78.2% had menstrual distress and distress score was 2.7 on average. There was a significant negative correlation between life style and impaired concentration, life style and behavioral change, rest and impaired concentration. Alcohol was negatively correlated with menstrual distress, impaired concentration, behavial change, and negative affect. Positive correlation was observed between menstrual distress and coping. These results suggest that the development of educational program is needed to promote life style and thereby provide effective interventions for menstrual distress in college students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 생활습관, 월경불편감 및 대처방법 간의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 2014년 11월 19일부터 12월 5일까지 K시 소재 K대학 재학 중인 여자 간호대학생 199명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수로 분석하였다. 월경불편감은 2.7점으로 78.2%가 호소하였다. 생활습관은 집중저하(r=-.17, p<.05), 행동변화(r=-.14, p<.05)와 음의 상관관계를, 휴식은 집중저하 (r=-.18, p<.05)와 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 음주는 월경불편감(r=-.19, p<.05), 집중저하(r=-.20, p<.05), 행동변화(r=-.18, p<.05), 부정적 정서(r=-.24, p<.05)와 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 월경불편감과 대처방법(r=.54, p<.001)은 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 건강한 생활습관 형성으로 월경불편감 완화를 위한 교육과 월경불편감을 완화시키는 대처방법에 대한 중재프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
