다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Management of perimenstrual discomfort could be an effective strategy for women's health promotion. This study was designed to develop and test the nursing intervention program for the reduction of the perimenstrual discomfort. The data were collected from a group of 76 female university students(34 in the intervention group, 42 in the con- trol group) during November 20, 1997 and March 10, 1998. Measurements were taken concerning perimenstrual discomfort, self care behavior, and perimenstrual discomfort from both groups, at pre and post intervention. Intervention program involved education, support, counseling, and relaxation training, via individual and group levels over a twelve-week period.
Listed arc the summarized results :
1. The intervention group had more knowledge concerning perimenstrual discomfort(t = 2.290, p = .025), self care behavior(t = 3.198, p = .000), and lower perimenstrual discomfort score(t =-4.446, p=.000) than the control group at post intervenion.
2. The intervention group showed an enhancement on the knowledge on perimenstrual discomport (t=2.35, p = .025), and decreased the perimenstrual discomfort score(t =-7.36, p = .000). However change of self care behavior was not significant during the intervention.
According to this study a developed nursing intervention program is effective for reduction of the perimenstrual discomfort. For a future research, it is necessary that experiments concerning menstruation, and a correlational study of perimenstrual discomfort and stress will be performed.
