Abstract

This study was conducted to understand the effects of openness, positive acceptance, physical symptoms, reaction, and emotional sensitivity among adolescents' attitudes toward menstruation, and academic stress on premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. A questionnaire of 126 high school girls who agreed to participate in the study was analyzed. As a result, the subject's premenstrual syndrome score was 22.48 points and dysmenorrhea was 4.66 points, and it was found that the higher the amount of menstruation, the higher the score of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea. Factors affecting premenstrual syndrome were openness, physical symptoms, reaction, and emotional sensitivity, and the explanatory power of these variables was 49.9%. In addition, positive acceptance and physical symptoms had a significant effect on dysmenorrhea in adolescents, and explanatory power was 66.3%.

본 연구는 청소년의 월경에 대한 태도 중 폐쇄성, 정적 수용, 신체 증상, 대처 행동, 정서적 민감성의 5항목과 학업 스트레스가 월경 증상인 월경 전 증후군과 월경곤란증에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 참여에 동의한 고등학생 여학생 126명의 설문지가 분석되었다. 그 결과 대상자의 월경 전 증후군 점수는 22.48점, 월경곤란증은 4.66점이었으며, 월경양이 많을수록 월경 전 증후군과 월경곤란증 점수는 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 월경 전 증후군에 영향을 미치는 요인은 폐쇄성과 신체 증상, 대처 행동, 정서적 민감성이었고, 이들 변수의 설명력은 49.9%이었다. 또한 정적 수용과 신체 증상은 청소년의 월경곤란증에 유의한 영향을 주었으며, 설명력은 66.3%이었다.
