Abstract: (527 Views)
Background & Aim: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing students were at risk of corona anxiety due to their close relationship with COVID-19 patients. On the other hand, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has a significant impact on the academic progress and efficiency of students. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between Corona anxiety and PMS symptoms in nursing students of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This is a descriptive- correlational study. Sampling was done in the form of a census from female students of the school of Nursing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected using the demographic characteristics form, the anxiety scale of corona disease and premenstrual symptoms screening questionnaire. The date was statistically analyzed using SPSS version 25 software.
Results: A total of 416 nursing students with an average age of 21.59 ± 2.46 participated in the study. Among them (42%) 176 people had PMS with an average age of 20.9±8.7. The average anxiety of Corona was 9.05 ± 7.33. The result of Spearman's correlation test showed a direct and weak correlation between Corona anxiety and the severity of PMS (r=0.238, p<0.001).
Conclusion: A significant relationship was observed between Corona anxiety and the severity of PMS symptoms. So, with increasing anxiety, PMS symptoms were also higher. Due to its impact on students' learning in this period, it is necessary to apply suitable interventions and further investigations for this group regarding the specific factors affecting the severity of the symptoms of this syndrome.
