Purpose of the Study
This study looks into the differences in severity of premenstrual syndrome and types according to age groups, and is a comparative study of a non-experimental study which attempts to set basic future guidelines for studies related to PMS, which is an important task in the field related to women’s health.
Methods
The subjects of this study were female residents of Seoul City, who were detected through PMS screening, a total of 180 women. Furthermore, the subjects were selected by convenience sampling of non-probability sampling.
The tools of analysis used were PMS screening and PAF(Premenstrual Assessment Form). The tools used for PMS screening were those used in Jungsoo Jang(2001), 「An Essential Lifetime Health Clinic for Women」. The PAF was formulated by Halbreich and Endicott(1982) and a tool devised by Hyunjung Kang(1998) consisting of 95 questions.
Collected data were analyzed by SPSS 16.0 and EXCEL computer program.
Results
1.Comparing the average of the PMS symptom groups of each age group, for the teens which showed a high average value were in the order of Group 17 and Group 1. For the twenties, Group 17 had the highest average value. For the thirties, the result is the same as the teens’s. For the fourties, Group 15 had the greatest average value.
2.From the verification of PMS severity it was concluded that all the groups were greater than p<.05, the numerical value was statistically insignificant.
3.From the examination of the differences in the severity of the symptoms according to age, 5 symptom groups showed a significant difference. Among the groups, Group 12 showed the greatest difference and Group18 showed the least difference. From Group12 (General Physical Discomfort), there was a significant difference between the teens and other groups. From Group18 (Miscellaneous Physical Changes), there was a significant difference only between the teens and twenties.
Conclusion
1.There is a need for further studies that verify the overall PMS types of Korean women according to age groups by expanding the number of subjects according to age groups and the regions subject to study.
2.Since this study used the PAF and the symptoms of the 18groups included to examine the PMS symptom types, there is a need for attempts for further studies which use tools that incorporate symptoms that have been omitted in order to re-verify the PMS symptom types according to age groups.
