The aim of the study was to determine the association between premenstrual syndrome and the childbirth fear prior to pregnancy.
This was an association and cross-sectional study conducted on 327 university students. Data were collected using "Participant Information Form," "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale," and "Childbirth Fear-Prior to Pregnancy Scale."
It was found that the childbirth fear had increased in students with premenstrual syndrome. The Women Childbirth Fear-Prior to Pregnancy Scale score was statistically significantly higher among students who preferred caesarean section than those who preferred vaginal delivery. There was a weak, positive, and statistically significant correlation between the students' depressive sensation, anxiety, fatigue, nervousness, depressive thoughts, pain, appetite changes, sleep pattern changes, and bloating subscales of Premenstrual Syndrome Scale and Women Childbirth Fear-Prior to Pregnancy Scale.
The score of the Women Childbirth Fear-Prior to Pregnancy Scale increases with an increase in the score of the Premenstrual Syndrome subscale. It should be evaluated whether or not women experiencing premenstrual syndrome have the childbirth fear prior to pregnancy.
本研究旨在探讨经前期综合征与妊娠前分娩恐惧之间的关系。
这是一项在 327 名大学生中进行的关联和横断面研究。使用“参与者信息表”、“经前期综合征量表”和“妊娠前分娩恐惧量表”收集数据。
研究发现,经前期综合征患者的分娩恐惧增加。与选择阴道分娩的学生相比,选择剖宫产的学生的“女性分娩恐惧-妊娠前量表”评分显著更高。学生的抑郁感、焦虑感、疲劳感、紧张感、抑郁思维、疼痛、食欲变化、睡眠模式变化和腹胀经前期综合征量表子量表与“女性分娩恐惧-妊娠前量表”之间存在弱、正、显著相关。
经前期综合征量表评分的增加与女性分娩恐惧-妊娠前量表评分的增加呈正相关。应该评估是否患有经前期综合征的女性存在妊娠前分娩恐惧。
