Premenstrual Syndrome and Physical Activity Self-Worth

Comparison of Physical Activity Self Worth of Women With and Without Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) negatively affects the quality of life of millions of women. PMS is a common cyclic disorder characterized by somatic, cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms that usually occurs in young and middle-aged women, lasts during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and ends with the onset of menstruation.Studies have shown that women with high PMS symptoms are more inactive. Physical activity participation in women affects a wide spectrum of self-perceptions, including knowledge, social, and emotional self-perceptions. By determining which physical, emotional, social and academic/knowledge areas are affected by women, increasing their participation in physical activity can be achieved. The subject of the study is to determine the symptom severity of women with and without premenstrual syndrome and to examine how premenstrual syndrome affects physical activity self-worth.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Descriptive Data	In the general evaluation form, data such as age, gender, weight, height, age at menarche, menstruation interval, menstrual pattern, presence of gynecological problems, presence of dysmenorrhea, pain level, exercise status, presence of chronic disease will be recorded.	Baseline
Premenstrual Syndrome Scale	The Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) was developed by Gençdoğan in 2006, based on DSM III and DSM-IV, and its validity and reliability were established. PMSS is a 44-item five-point Likert-type scale. After each item is read in PMSS, marking is made by taking into account the degrees to the right of the relevant item, depending on whether this situation is within the period of "one week before menstruation". In scoring the scale, "Never" is evaluated as 1, "Very little" as 2, "Sometimes" as 3, "Often" as 4, and "Constantly" as 5 points. A score of 138 or higher indicates PMS.	Baseline
Women's Physical Activity Self-Worth Inventory	The Women's Physical Activity Self-Worth Inventory (Women's Physical Activity Self-Worth Inventory), developed by Huberty J. et al. in 2013, is a 37-item multidimensional scale. Turkish version study, validity and reliability were done by Yutçiçek and Kömürcü in 2019. FAESQ is a 37-item Likert-type (Strongly Disagree (1), Disagree (2), Agree, (3), Strongly Agree (4)) scale that evaluates the non-physical aspects of physical activity-related self-worth in women. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 37 and 148. As the score increases, the sense of self-worth increases.	Baseline
