Purpose:
To determine the frequency and distribution of various perimenstrual symptoms experienced by Taiwanese nursing students.
Methods:
A descriptive "management of menstrual cramps survey" was utilized to collect information from 2,758 female nursing students in southern Taiwan.
Findings:
Of the participants, the most frequently reported perimenstrual symptom was a combination of four symptom categories, including mood change, pain, gastrointestinal disturbance, and functional ability decline.
Conclusions:
A potentially new nursing diagnosis of perimenstrual syndrome including four symptom categories may be established.
Practice Implications:
The results are important for the education of healthcare professionals and the public. Understanding the interaction among perimenstrual symptoms may help guide nursing professionals in women's health care.
