 Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the menstrual attitude, resilience, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) of nursing students, and to identify predictors of PMS in nursing students. A descriptive survey design was used in this study and 154 nursing college students enrolled in the nursing departments of universities located in D and K cities became the study participants. Data were collected through survey questionnaires and were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.0 through mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression analysis. The results showed that menstrual attitude has a negative correlation with PMS, and resilience has a positive correlation with PMS The participants’ PMS showed a positive correlation with menstrual attitude (r=.114, p=.004) and a negative correlation with resilience. In addition, factors affecting PMS in nursing students were menstrual attitude and resilience, with an explanatory power of 20.5%. In particular, resilience was identified as the key factor for predicting PMS among nursing students. Therefore, based on the study results, a nursing intervention program must be developed to effectively manage the premenstrual and postmenstrual clusters of nursing students.
