The study aimed to investigate the relationship between menstrual disorders and education in women with intractable epilepsy.
This was a descriptive-analytical study. Statistical population consisted of all female patients with intractable epilepsy in 15-45 age group who visited the third department of epilepsy in Ayatollah Kashani Hospital. The sample size was 380. They were selected using simple random sampling. A questionnaire was distributed among the patients to collect information on education, incidence and type of current menstrual disorder (each type of menstrual disorder was explained to the participants). Then, the relationship between education and prevalence of menstrual disorders in these women was investigated.
Analysis of Spearman correlation coefficient showed a significant and negative correlation between education and menstrual disorder (P≤0.05). Analysis of multivariate logistic regression also showed a significant relationship between education and types of menstrual disorders. There was also a significant relationship between education and regular and irregular menstruation (P≤0.05).
There is a significant relationship between education and menstrual disorders in women with intractable epilepsy, and the higher education level indicates less prevalent menstrual irregularities.
本研究旨在调查难治性癫痫女性患者月经紊乱与教育程度之间的关系。
这是一项描述性分析研究。统计人群包括所有年龄在15至45岁之间、前往卡沙尼阿亚图拉医院癫痫三科就诊的难治性癫痫女性患者。样本量为380例。采用简单随机抽样法进行选取。向患者发放问卷，收集有关教育程度、当前月经紊乱的发生率及类型（向参与者解释了每种月经紊乱类型）的信息。然后，调查这些女性的教育程度与月经紊乱患病率之间的关系。
斯皮尔曼相关系数分析显示，教育程度与月经紊乱之间存在显著负相关（P≤0.05）。多因素逻辑回归分析还显示，教育程度与月经紊乱类型之间存在显著关系。教育程度与月经规律和不规律之间也存在显著关系（P≤0.05）。
难治性癫痫女性患者的教育程度与月经紊乱之间存在显著关系，教育程度越高，月经不规律的患病率越低。
