Abstract


Stress and premenstrual syndrome events in female college students in boarding schools

Purpose

This study aimed to determine the correlation between stress and premenstrual syndrome events in female college students who live in Islamic boarding schools.

Method

This study used a cross-sectional design. Respondents were female college students who live in boarding schools and met inclusion criteria as a respondent. Data collection technique was simple random sampling.

Results

There were correlations between stress and premenstrual syndrome, and the external variable which was related with premenstrual syndrome was age of menarche. Prevalence of female college students who experienced stress was 34.9% and prevalence of premenstrual syndrome was 32.8%. Severe symptoms experienced by respondents were physical symptoms (22.3%) such as breast tenderness, headache, joint or muscle pain, bloating, weight gain, fatigue or weakness (21.6%), and decreased interest of doing activities at home/dorm (18.1%).

Conclusion

Female college students who experienced stress have more potential to experience premenstrual syndrome than female college students who did not experience stress.
