经前综合征（PMS）是指在月经周期的黄体期周期性发生的身体、认知、情感和行为症状，并在月经开始时或几天内迅速消退。该研究的主要目的是评估经前综合症的患病率，影响和医疗管理的女医学生的默克莱大学健康科学学院。2013年3月至4月，在埃塞俄比亚北方Mekelle镇Mekelle大学健康科学学院系统挑选的女学生中进行了一项横断面研究。一个结构化的和预先测试的自填问卷进行数据收集。使用社会科学统计软件包，SPSS Inc.，芝加哥，IL（SPSS版本16）。经前综合征的诊断标准采用《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版修订本（DSM-IV TR）。从608人的总人数中抽取了258人的样本。研究参与者的年龄范围为18至25岁，平均年龄为20.86 ± 1.913岁。在参与者中，144人（83.2%）在月经期间至少有一种PM症状。根据DSM-IV，PMS的患病率为37.0%。49人（28.3%）经常缺课，17人（9.8%）考试缺考，14人（8.1%）成绩差，3人（1.7%）因经前综合征而放弃学习。只有83名（48.0%）参与者因PMS寻求医疗。使用的治疗方式为止痛药，63例（36.4%），热饮如咖啡和茶，13例（7.5%），按摩疗法和锻炼，7例（4.0%）。二元Logistic回归分析显示，月经周期平均长度（COR = 0.20（0.070-0.569））和学习成绩障碍（AOR = 0.345（0.183-0.653））分别与经前综合征的诊断和经前综合征治疗的使用显著相关。我们的研究揭示了高患病率和负面影响的经前综合症的学生默克莱大学。因此，作为整体卫生服务的一部分，应向受影响的妇女提供健康教育、适当的医疗和咨询服务。
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is used to describe physical, cognitive, affective, and behavioral symptoms that occur cyclically during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and resolve quickly at or within a few days of the onset of menstruation. The primary aim of the study was to assess the prevalence, impacts and medical managements of PMS on female medical students of Mekelle University College of Health Sciences. A cross-sectional study was conducted among systematically selected female students of Mekelle University College of Health Sciences, Mekelle town, northern Ethiopia from March to April 2013. A structured and pretested self-administered questionnaire was employed for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL (SPSS version 16). The criteria proposed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM-IV TR) were used to diagnose PMS. From the total population size of 608; a sample size of 258 was drawn. Age of the study participants ranged from 18 to 25 years, with mean age of 20.86 ± 1.913 years. Among the participants, 144(83.2%) have had at least one PM symptoms with their menstrual period. The prevalence of PMS according to DSM-IV was 37.0%. About 49(28.3%) reported frequent class missing, 17(9.8%) exam missing, 14(8.1%) low grade scoring and 3(1.7%) of them reported withdrawal from their learning associated with their PMS. Only 83(48.0%) participants sought medical treatment for their PMS. The treatment modalities used were pain killers, 63(36.4%), hot drinks like coffee and tea, 13(7.5%), and massage therapy and exercise, 7(4.0%). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed average length of one cycle of menstruation (COR = 0.20(0.070-0.569) and academic performance impairment (AOR = 0.345(0.183-0.653) were significantly associated with the diagnosis of PMS and use of PMS treatments respectively. Our study revealed a high prevalence and negative impact of PMS on students of Mekelle University. Therefore, health education, appropriate medical treatment and counseling services, as part of the overall health service, should be availed and provided to affected women.
