Abstract:
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of factors affecting dysmenorrhea and its effects on work life among nurses in Turkey. In total, 574 nurses were included. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 69.9%, and 86.0% of the nurses suffered from moderate and severe dysmenorrhea. According to the severity of dysmenorrhea, work satisfaction, work performance, quality of service, communication problems with teammates and patients/patient relatives, official leave of absence and requests for sick leave significantly differed. Therefore, prevalence and severity of dysmenorrhea are high in nurses, and problems experienced in the workplace differ according to its severity.
