Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with premenstrual syndrome among nursing students. Participants were 159 nursing students 2 colleges in B metropolitan city and 1 university in K city. Data were collected between October 28 and November 15, 2016 using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed with the SPSS 21.0 program using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression. In nursing students premenstrual syndrome was significantly positive correlated with stress(r=-.396, p<.001) and menstrual attitude(r=-.176, p=.027). The significant factors that influence premenstrual syndrome were stress(${\beta}=.36$, p<.001) and dysmenorrhea(${\beta}=.22$, p=.003), which explained 19.4%. The results indicate a need to manage the premenstrual syndrome of nursing students. The finding also suggest that consideration be given to duration of menstruation, menstrual quantity and peri-menstrual dysphoria in developing strategies to reduce stress and dysmenorrhea and developing programs to manage the premenstrual syndrome among nursing students.

본 연구는 월경전증후군 영향 요인을 파악하기 위해 실시된 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 B광역시 소재 2개 대학과 K시 1개 대학에 재학 중인 간호대학생으로 대상자 선정 기준에 적합한 자로 총 159명이었으며 자료수집 기간은 2016년 10월 28일부터 11월 15일까지 이루어졌다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 스트레스(r=-.396, p<.001)와 월경태도(r=-.176, p=.027)는 월경전증후군과 정적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 간호대학생의 월경전증후군에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 스트레스(${\beta}=.36$, p<.001)와 월경통(${\beta}=.22$, p=.003)으로 나타났으며, 이들 변수의 설명력은 19.4%이었다. 본 연구 는 간호대학생의 월경전증후군 관리 프로그램 개발에 기초적인 자료를 제공하는데 의의가 있다. 간호대학생의 월경전증후군을 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 스트레스와 월경통을 감소시킬 수 있는 전략으로 월경기간, 월경 양, 월경 중 불편감 등의 대상자 특성을 고려한 중재 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
