Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To investigate prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and its associated factors among Thai nurses.

METHODS

The study was conducted in 423 nurses in a university hospital during October 2005 to March 2006. Prevalence of PMS was determined using a validated Thai version of Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST). Factors associated with PMS were analyzed using Student t-test and Chi-square test.

RESULTS

The prevalence of PMS in Thai nurses was 25.1%. Nurses with younger age, nulligravida, lower income, more coffee consumption, dysmenorrhea, and negative attitude toward menstruation had higher prevalence of PMS. After multiple logistic regression analysis, the significant factors associated with PMS were coffee consumption > 1 cups/day and negative attitude toward menstruation; odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were 2.322 (1.257 to 4.288) and 5.768 (2.096 to 15.872), respectively.

CONCLUSION

According to the Thai PSST, 25.1% of Thai nurses are suffering from PMS. The significant associated factors were more coffee consumption and negative attitude toward menstruation.

摘要

目的

调查泰国护士经前综合征（PMS）的患病率及其相关因素。

方法

2005年10月至2006年3月期间，对一家大学医院的423名护士进行了研究。采用经过验证的泰语版经前症状筛查工具（PSST）确定PMS的患病率。使用学生t检验和卡方检验分析与PMS相关的因素。

结果

泰国护士中PMS的患病率为25.1%。年龄较小、未孕、收入较低、咖啡摄入量较多、痛经以及对月经持消极态度的护士PMS患病率较高。经过多因素逻辑回归分析，与PMS相关的显著因素是每天咖啡摄入量>1杯以及对月经持消极态度；优势比（95%置信区间）分别为2.322（1.257至4.288）和5.768（2.096至15.872）。
