Literature discusses the relationship between young women's violent tendencies and biological, psychological, and social factors. Notably, hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle are reflected in mood swings and aggression levels, which may increase the tendency of young women to resort to violence.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between violent tendencies and premenstrual symptoms in university students.
Data for this cross-sectional analytical study were collected from 1301 students via a Google survey between January and May 2020 using the Personal Information Form, Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and Violence Tendency Scale (VTS).
It was determined that 65.3% of students had PMS, and the students' VTS scores was high in 25.8% of them and low in 73.2 of them. There was significant correlation between the students' VTS scores in both subscales and total scores of PMSS (P < 0.05), PMSS' anxiety (β = 0.171), irritability (β = 0.348), and sleep changes (β = 0.182) subscale scores positively affected VTS scores (P < 0.05).
Most of the students in the study were found to suffer from PMS, and PMS symptoms, particularly anxiety, irritability, and sleep disturbances, were associated with higher VTS scores. These results suggest that specific symptoms of PMS may play an important role in determining students' VTS scores, and this may have implications for understanding PMS broader effects on student wellbeing and performance. Health professionals can provide education and health services aimed at reducing premenstrual symptoms, preventing violent tendencies, and providing resources and foundations for future studies by conducting more studies.
文献探讨了年轻女性暴力倾向与生物、心理和社会因素之间的关系。值得注意的是，月经周期中的激素波动反映在情绪波动和攻击水平上，这可能会增加年轻女性诉诸暴力的倾向。
本研究旨在评估大学生暴力倾向与经前症状之间的关系。
本横断面分析研究的数据于2020年1月至5月期间通过谷歌调查问卷从1301名学生中收集，使用个人信息表、经前综合征量表（PMSS）和暴力倾向量表（VTS）。
确定65.3%的学生患有经前综合征，其中25.8%的学生暴力倾向量表得分高，73.2%的学生得分低。两个分量表的学生暴力倾向量表得分与经前综合征量表总分之间存在显著相关性（P<0.05），经前综合征量表的焦虑（β=0.171）、易怒（β=0.348）和睡眠变化（β=0.182）分量表得分对暴力倾向量表得分有正向影响（P<0.05）。
研究发现大多数学生患有经前综合征，经前综合征症状，尤其是焦虑、易怒和睡眠障碍，与较高的暴力倾向量表得分相关。这些结果表明，经前综合征的特定症状可能在决定学生暴力倾向量表得分方面发挥重要作用，这可能对理解经前综合征对学生幸福感和表现的更广泛影响具有启示意义。卫生专业人员可以通过开展更多研究，提供旨在减轻经前症状、预防暴力倾向以及为未来研究提供资源和基础的教育和健康服务。
