Primary Dysmenorrhea and Comfort Theory

Sponsor: Ordu University

Summary

Dysmenorrhea is defined as lower abdominal pain experienced during menstruation. It is divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. In young women, the majority of dysmenorrhea cases are primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea has a physical, psychological, and social impact on young women. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used to treat primary dysmenorrhea. Education is important in increasing the effectiveness of primary dysmenorrhea treatment. An effective education process takes place in accordance with nursing theories and models. There are a limited number of studies on the effect of comfort theory-based education in the management of primary dysmenorrhea. In this research, planned as a randomized controlled trial, the intervention group will receive comfort theory-based education, while the control group will receive no intervention. This study aims to contribute to the literature by investigating the effect of comfort theory-based education on dysmenorrhea, menstrual symptoms, premenstrual syndrome, and general well-being in university students with primary dysmenorrhea.
