A study was conducted to explore the relationship of demographic variables, gynecologic history variables, and menstrual attitudes to three measures of dysmenorrhea derived from the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire. One hundred ninety-three women, 18 to 35 years old, from five neighborhoods in a large, metropolitan city comprised the sample population. The strongest correlates found were attitudes toward menstruation, though associations between dysmenorrhea and items reflecting traditional/feminist dimensions were absent. Further precision in defining dysmenorrhea and a comprehensive, health-oriented approach to dealing with menstrual distress is indicated. Recommendations about the nurse's role in counseling dysmenorrheic women and promoting more positive menstrual attitudes are discussed.
一项研究旨在探讨人口统计学变量、妇科病史变量以及月经态度与从《月经困扰问卷》得出的三种痛经测量指标之间的关系。来自一个大都市五个社区的193名年龄在18至35岁之间的女性构成了样本群体。研究发现，与痛经关联最强的是对月经的态度，不过痛经与反映传统/女权主义维度的项目之间并无关联。这表明在定义痛经方面需要进一步精确，并且需要采用一种全面的、以健康为导向的方法来应对月经困扰。文中还讨论了关于护士在为痛经女性提供咨询以及促进更积极的月经态度方面所扮演角色的建议。
