Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Determining the level of premenstrual syndrome It is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 44 questions measuring the severity of premenstrual symptoms. The scale has a total of nine sub-dimensions including Depressive Affect, Anxiety, Fatigue, Irritability, Depressive Thoughts, Pain, Appetite Changes, Sleep Changes, and Bloating. The application of the premenstrual syndrome scale is carried out by retrospectively evaluating the person by taking into account the status of "being within one week before menstruation". "PMSQ Total Score" is obtained from the sum of the scores obtained from all sub-dimensions. A minimum of 44 and a maximum of 220 points can be obtained from the scale. An increase in the score indicates an increase in the intensity of PMS symptoms. At the first interview, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale was applied to all students in both groups as a pre-test.

Secondary Determination of Perceived Stress Level The Perceived Stress Level Scale (PSL) consists of 14 items. It was created to measure the extent to which people perceive certain situations in their lives as stressful. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale (0: Never, 1: Almost Never, 2: Sometimes, 3: Frequently, 4: Very often). The questions in the scale are aimed at evaluating the change in the participants' emotional state in the last one month. The stress level perceived by the respondent is determined by summing the scores obtained from the items. The scale has a total score between 0-56 points and the higher the score, the higher the perceived stress level. At the first interview, the Perceived Stress Level Scale was applied to all students in both groups as a pre-test.
