Sponsor: Medipol University
Summary
Premenstrual syndrome is a common women's health condition characterized by physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms that may negatively affect daily life, academic functioning, and quality of life among young women. This study evaluated the effect of a Health Belief Model-based podcast education program on premenstrual symptom severity and PMS-specific quality of life among young female university students living in Istanbul, Türkiye. This single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study enrolled 120 participants. The intervention consisted of an eight-episode podcast education program delivered over four weeks, with two episodes per week. Premenstrual symptom severity and PMS-specific quality of life were assessed before and after the education program using validated scales.
