Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this project is to determine the effect of mindfulness practice to cope with dysmenorrhea on pain and anxiety levels. The project will be carried out in a semi-randomized controlled manner. It will be applied to 100 students with dysmenorrhea (100 students by increasing by 10%, taking into account the losses that may occur in the 90 students determined in the sample calculation). Students who meet the inclusion criteria and approve of participating in the project will be given a pre-test before the application. 'Introductory Information Form', 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the pre-test. After the pre-test, mindfulness practice will be applied for 8 weeks (1 day/120 minutes per week). At the end of 8 weeks, an intermediate test will be performed in the first 3 days of the first menstrual cycle. After the mid-term test, students will practice mindfulness on their own with the brochures provided. Motivational messages will be sent to students for mindfulness practice, starting 3 days before their cycle. The final test will be administered 3 months after the intermediate test. 'VAS Scale' and 'State and Trait Anxiety Scale' will be used in the mid-test and post-test.


Clinical Trial Description

Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological condition that negatively affects the lives of more than half of women during menstruation. The severity of dysmenorrhea can be mild, moderate or high. Dysmenorrhea negatively affects women's social relations, daily lives, business lives, academic achievements and quality of life. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are used in its treatment. Among the non-pharmacological methods used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, methods such as aromatherapy, yoga, massage, regular exercise, acupuncture, acupressure, TENS and cognitive behavioral therapy have been used. Mindfulness, one of the cognitive behavioral treatment methods, reduces stress, anxiety and depression in women.
