To elucidate early adolescent girls' attitudes, thoughts and feelings towards menstruation and their bodies.
309 12-y-old girls answered questionnaires. One part of the questionnaire dealt with thoughts and feelings towards menstruation. The other part dealt with thoughts and feelings towards menstruation and sex and ability to communicate on aspects of womanhood.
Postmenarcheal girls were less positive towards menstruation than premenarcheal girls (p = 1 x 10(-6)). Many girls (43%) did not reaffirm the statement "I like my body" and almost one quarter stated being teased for their appearance. Many of the girls claimed that they had been called "cunt" (38%) or "whore" (46%). If called "cunt" or "whore", 17% stated that they felt alone, 76% felt anger and 50% were offended. Mothers were those with whom girls could most easily "chat" about their period. Sixty-seven per cent received information about menstruation from school nurses.
Wanting to be an adult and liking that their body develops seem to be associated with a more positive feeling towards menstruation. Furthermore, mothers' timing and ability to communicate attitudes towards menstruation and the body are as important as those in a girl's immediate environment.
阐明青春期早期女孩对月经及其身体的态度、想法和感受。
309名12岁女孩回答了问卷。问卷的一部分涉及对月经的想法和感受。另一部分涉及对月经、性以及在女性相关方面进行沟通的能力的想法和感受。
月经初潮后的女孩对月经的态度不如月经初潮前的女孩积极（p = 1×10⁻⁶）。许多女孩（43%）不认同“我喜欢我的身体”这一说法，近四分之一的女孩表示因自己的外貌而被取笑。许多女孩称自己被叫做“ cunt”（38%）或“ whore”（46%）。如果被叫做“ cunt”或“ whore”，17%的女孩表示感到孤独，76%感到愤怒且50%觉得被冒犯。母亲是女孩最容易就月经问题“聊天”的对象。67%的女孩从学校护士那里获得了有关月经的信息。
渴望成为成年人以及喜欢自己身体的发育似乎与对月经更积极正面的感受相关。此外，母亲传达对月经和身体的态度的时机和能力与女孩直接生活环境中的因素同样重要。
