Abstract |
The authors investigated on the menstrual disturbance and stress in the students of nursing school. The subjects were 242 female students from the first grade to the third. Thirtyfour % of the student...s had irregular menstrual cycle, which was supposed significantly higher than that of university students. The students in the final grade also had higher frequency of irregular menstruation compared with that in the first and second grade. The students in the final grade also complained of more subjective symptoms than those in the lower grade. The mood state was measured by a mood scale (POMS) before and during menstruation. The mood was found disturbed remarkably during menstruation than in non-menstrual phase. Similarly, the profile of mood showed abnormal finding in the subjects with menstrual disturbance. In conclusion, the menstrual disturbance correlated with stress, presumably psychological stress in nursing students.show more
