Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of developing and applying taping therapy combined with heat and exercise therapy to reduce dysmenorrhea and menstrual discomfort and improve daily living ability of female college students. The study consisted of 46 female college students complaining of dysmenorrhea at K University in D city, 23 in the experimental and control groups. Questionnaires were collected and data were analyzed using SPSS statistics. The comparison of kinesi taping with heat and exercise therapy showed that taping therapy with heat and exercise therapy was more effective in reducing dysmenorrhea (t = -3.034, p = .004). The combined heat and exercise taping therapy developed in this study was found to be a more effective nursing intervention for relieving dysmenorrhea and improving daily life performance of female college students. This taping therapy is a simple method. It suggests a study to develop self-nursing education programs for girls in the community with menstrual pain and to verify the effectiveness by applying individualized education programs.
