原发性痛经或抽筋会导致年轻女性疼痛、限制活动并增加情绪紧张，但其测量方法尚未得到足够的研究关注。我们编制了痛经的功能性和情绪性测量(FEMD，14项)，并以833名中国大学女生为样本进行了测试。通过主成分分析(PCA)提取了两个因素(量表)，然后通过验证性因素分析(CFA)进行了验证。这两个量表是相互关联的，并且与经历过的疼痛严重程度相关，在较小程度上与抑郁倾向相关。我们已经证明，FEMD具有稳定的成分，可能有助于测量痛经相关的功能障碍。
Primary dysmenorrhea, or cramps, causes pain, limits activity, and increases emotional tension in young women, but its measurement has not received enough research attention. We have developed a functional and emotional measure of dysmenorrhea (FEMD, 14 items), and trialed it with a sample of 833 Chinese university women. Two factors (scales) were extracted by principal component analysis (PCA) and subsequently approved by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The two scales were intercorrelated and were correlated with experienced pain severity and, to a lesser degree, with the depressive tendency. We have demonstrated that FEMD has stable components that might help measure dysmenorrhea-related dysfunctions.
