为了确定沙特阿拉伯吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学(KAU)女医学生痛经的患病率、预测因素和结局。采用分层随机抽样的方法，对吉达KAU的435名医学生进行横断面调查。使用预先编制的、经过验证的自填式问卷来收集个人和社会人口信息。还收集了有关月经史、压力、吸烟的数据。采用“视觉模拟评分(VAS)”对痛经程度进行评分。进行描述性和分析性统计。痛经患病率为60.9%。Logistic回归分析显示，重度痛经是第一个预测痛经的因素(AOR=1.94；95%CI：1.29~2.91)，其次是应激(AOR=1.90；95%CI：1.19~3.07)。重度痛经的患病率为38.6%。伴随痛经的症状以情绪低落最为常见(80.8%)。关于痛经的结果，67.5%的患者报告情绪不稳定，28.3%的患者报告大学旷课。在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学(KAU)的医学生中，痛经的患病率很高，建议进行健康促进、筛查计划和压力管理课程。
To determine the prevalence, predictors and outcome of dysmenorrhea among female medical students in King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 435 medical students at KAU, Jeddah selected through stratified random sample method. A pre-constructed, validated, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect personal and socio-demographic information. Data about menstrual history, stress, smoking were also collected. The severity of dysmenorrhea was scored by the “Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)”. Descriptive and analytical statistics were conducted. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 60.9%. Logistic regression showed that heavy period was the first predictor of dysmenorrhea (aOR=1.94; 95% CI: 1.29- 2.91), followed by stress (aOR=1.90; 95% C.I.: 1.19-3.07). The prevalence of severe dysmenorrhea among the sufferers was 38.6%. Depressed mood was the commonest (80.8%) symptom accompanying dysmenorrhea. Regarding the outcome of dysmenorrhea, 67.5% of the sufferes reported emotional instability, while 28.3% reported absenteeism from the university. A high prevalence of dysmenorrhea was prevalent among medical students in King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Health promotion, screening programs, and stress management courses are recommended.
