Food Habits Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Laughter Therapy On The Food Craving in Young Women With Premenstrual Syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is characterized by physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms in the luteal phase that significantly disrupt women's daily lives, including work and personal activities, and resolve spontaneously within a few days of the onset of menstruation. The premenstrual syndrome causes emotional eating, excessive consumption of certain foods, and increased appetite. These unhealthy eating patterns in eating behavior affect health negatively. Women with PMS have an increased appetite and food cravings. It has been stated that the increase in appetite and food cravings are reduced by laughter therapy. Thus, the laughter therapy method, which has no side effects in PMS and negative eating behaviors, can be used and recommended or applied by health professionals.

Primary | Premenstrual Syndrom Scale | It is a scale developed by Gençdogan in 2006, measuring the severity of premenstrual symptoms, with a five-point Likert type, containing 44 items and consisting of nine subscales: Depressive Affectiveness, Anxiety, Fatigue, Nervousness, Depressive Thoughts, Pain, Appetite Changes, Sleep Changes and Bloating. When scoring on the scale, "Always" is scored as 5 points, "Often" as 4 points, "Sometimes" as 3 points, "Very little" as 2 points and "Never" as 1 point, and it is evaluated over the total score. The application of the scale is done by retrospectively evaluating the person's "being in the week before menstrual bleeding" situation. The lowest score from the scale is 44 and the highest score is 220. The higher the score, the more severe PMS symptoms are considered. If the person exceeds 50% (110) of the total scale score (220) on the PMS scale, PMS is considered to be present. In the reliability study of the scale, Cronbach's Alpha value was found to be 0.75. | One day | |
Secondary | Food Craving: | The scale was developed by Cepeda-Benito et al. (2000) Akkurt et al. (2019) Turkish validity and reliability were performed. The scale consists of 39 items and is evaluated in a 6-point Likert type. The scale has 9 sub-dimensions. Sub-dimensions and items in sub-dimensions are as follows. "Having Intentions and Plans to Consume Food", "Anticipation of Positive Reinforcement Feelings As a Result of Eating", "Lack of Eating Control Over Eating", "Thoughts or Preoccupation with Food Cravings or Eating", "Craving as a Physiological State", "Emotions That May Be Experienced Before or During Meal", "Cues That May Trigger Food Craving", "Guilt From Cravings and/or for Giving Into Them". The score of each sub-dimension and scale is obtained by dividing the total item scores by the number of items. The scores obtained in this way express the high desire to eat in the scale and in the sub-dimensions. | One day |
