Premenstrual Symptoms

Abstract BackgroundMenstrual abnormalities seem to occur more frequently in students studying medicine and health sciences. Menstrual abnormalities have the potential to impact women’s health, their physical and emotional wellbeing as well as social and school functioning, there is a clear need for better understanding of these disease processes, their associations, and impact on quality of life. The present study aims to explore the association between menstrual abnormalities, psychological disturbances and eating disorders among female students studying health sciences subjectsMethodsThis was a cross-sectional study, in which students from all health science colleges at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Saudi Arabia, were asked to partake by answering questions pertaining to their demographic data, menstrual patterns, perceived stress, and quality of life using Perceived Stress Scale (PSS ) and the 20-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-20) respectively. All statistical analyses were done using IBM SPSS Statistics software.ResultsMost respondents had a normal length cycle, duration and flow. Many of our respondents reported some type of premenstrual symptoms with mixed symptoms being the most prevalent 44%. Those who had mixed premenstrual symptoms also had high levels of perceived stress (p<0.001). However, there was no correlation between menstrual cycle length and duration and levels of perceived stress. Regarding the SF-20 quality of life components who had premenstrual symptoms including pain, psychological symptoms , and mixed symptoms did poorly on the physical, social, and mental health aspects of quality of life.DiscussionOur findings are in line with those identified by other authors who demonstrate a strong positive correlation with premenstrual symptoms and perceived stress and also an association between menstrual abnormalities and quality of life and activities of daily living. Due to the cross-sectional nature of the study, causality cannot be determined and prospective studies are recommended in the futureConclusionsWe found that those who had menorrhagia, premenstrual symptoms, or eating disorders reported high levels of stress. We have also demonstrated a link between premenstrual symptoms, menstrual abnormalities, PCOS , and worse quality of life. We hope that this unique study will shed some light on the struggles faced by health science female students and help policy makers enhance mental and reproductive/endocrinological health care access for them

High Internal Consistency

In this study the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 was adapted to Spanish and analyzed the internal psychometric properties of the test in a clinical sample of females with eating disorders. The results showed a high internal consistency of the scores as well as high temporal stability. The factor structure of the scale composites was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The results supported the existence of a second-order structure beyond the psychological composites. The second-order factor showed high correlation with the factor related to eating disorders. Overall, the Spanish version of the EDI-3 showed good psychometric qualities in terms of internal consistency, temporal stability and internal structure.

Feelings of body dissatisfaction are common in Western society, especially in women and girls. More than innocent discontent, body dissatisfaction can have serious consequences such as depression and eating disorders. The current article discusses the nature of body dissatisfaction, how it develops and how it is currently being treated. We also discuss novel strategies to increase body satisfaction that work on the automatic system (e.g., by retraining attentional and conditioning processes), since recent research suggests that appearance-related information is processed automatically. We suggest that extant methods should be combined with these novel strategies, in order to optimally improve body dissatisfaction and to prevent its detrimental consequences.
