| Abstrakt: | Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between premenstrual symptoms and healthy lifestyle behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic process. Method: The research was descriptive and cross-sectional type. The data collected from 407 women between the ages of 18-49. The data was collected with an information form, The Premenstrual Syndrome Scale and The Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Scale II. Results: The prevalence of premenstrual syndrome was 72.7%. The mean score of the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale was 132.45±36.51, and the mean score of the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II was 120.27±18.41. A significant negative correlation was found between the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II. It was found that having irregular menstruation period, experiencing menstrual changes and premenstrual symptom changes significantly increased the mean scores of the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale. Vegetable and fruit consumption, carbohydrate consumption, caffeine consumption and salt consumption were found to affect both premenstrual complaints and healthy life. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome was high, and the women had a moderately healthy lifestyle. Adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours helps to cope with premenstrual problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
