This study aimed to determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea in university students, examine associated factors, and evaluate the relationship between dysmenorrhea and sleep quality. The researchers surveyed 520 students about their menstrual symptoms, pain levels, and sleep quality. They found that 69% experienced dysmenorrhea, which was associated with smoking, irregular periods, medication use, and family history. Students with dysmenorrhea reported more fatigue, weakness, and breast tenderness. They also had poorer sleep quality than students without dysmenorrhea. The study concluded that dysmenorrhea negatively impacts young women's health and sleep quality.

Review of Frequency of

Dysmenorrhea and Some Associated


Factors and Evaluation of the
Relationship between
Dysmenorrhea and Sleep Quality in
University Students

Objective

• To determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea in


university students, review some associated
factors and evaluate the relationship between
dysmenorrhea and sleep quality
Material and Methods:
• The study group included 520 students. Survey forms prepared
previously in line with the study objective were completed by the
students under supervision. The severity of dysmenorrhea was rated
with Visual Analogue Scale. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used
to evaluate the sleep quality. The χ 2 test, Mann-Whitney U test and
Kruskal-Wallis test were used for the analyses. Statistical
significance level was accepted at p < 0.05.
Results:

• Mean age of the students was 20.23 ± 1.59 years (range 17– 25).
Frequency of dysmenorrhea was determined to be 69.0% (n = 359).
Frequency of dysmenorrhea was higher in smokers, those with
menstrual irregularity, those who use drugs for menstrual
regulation and those having a family history (p < 0.05 for each). The
most frequent symptoms in those having dysmenorrhea history
were weakness (59.6%), fatigue (58.5%) and breast tenderness
(45.4%), respectively. Sleep quality was found to be poorer in the
students having a history of dysmenorrhea (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:

• Dysmenorrhea is an important health problem


in young women. Dysmenorrhea affects the
sleep quality negatively.
