본 연구는 초등학생의 긍정적인 월경태도 형성을 위한 프로그램 개발의 기초연구로서, 초등학생의 월경에 대한 태도, 증상 및 대처방법을 파악하기 위해 시도된 서술적 조사연구이다. 초경의 평균연령은 12.3세였고, 월경에 대한 태도는 전체적으로 부정적인 태도를 보였으며 초경 경험군 2.93점으로, 비경험군 2.86점에 비해 상대적으로 긍정적인 태도를 보였으나 유의미한 차이는 없었다. 초경 경험군에서의 월경증상은 2.12점으로 중간점수인 3점보다 낮은 점수를 보여 월경 증상이 거의 없거나 보통으로 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 월경증상의 하부요인 중 '통증'을 가장 많이 호소하였다. 또한 월경 시 대처방법으로 '따뜻한 물로 샤워한다', '휴식을 취하거나 잠을 잔다'를 가장 많이 선택하였으며, '비타민 B를 섭취한다', '진통제를 복용한다' 등의 약물복용 항목은 거의 선택하지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 하여 초등학생의 월경태도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 깊이 있는 체계적인 후속연구와 월경에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 갖게 하기 위한 효과적인 월경에 대한 보건교육과 월경에 대한 증상과 대처방법을 선택하기 위한 교육 및 상담 등을 제언하고자 한다.

Purpose: To identify factors associated with menstrual distress and characterize the relationship between menstrual distress and sleep disturbance in middle-school girls. Methods: Participants in this correlational study were 117 middle-school girls who were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected from March 2018 to April 2018 using self-reported structured questionnaires and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0. Factors associated with menstrual distress included physiological, psychological, and situational factors based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms. Results: Age of menarche (${\beta}=-.28$, p<.001), amount of menstruation (${\beta}=.23$, p=.004), lifestyle-related exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (${\beta}=.21$, p=.027), and academic and peer-relationship stress (${\beta}=.19$, p=.025) influenced menstrual distress, explaining 47.4% of the variance in this regression model. The relationship between menstrual distress and sleep disturbance was statistically significant. Sleep disturbance was increased 1.26 folds when dysmenorrhea score increased by one unit (OR=1.26, 95% CI: 1.01~1.58). However, parental support was not a significant moderating factor of sleep disturbance. Conclusion: This study provides basis to develop an intervention strategy to alleviate menstrual discomfort in adolescents and improve their quality of sleep.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the relationship between isoflavones intake from soy foods and perimenstrual symptoms among women. Methods: The research design was a cross sectional study. Subjects consisted of 245 women living in Korea, aged 19-49 years. The measurement tools were MDQ and FFQ. Results: Frequently consumed soy isoflavones foods were rice with soybeans, soybean paste stew, and soy paste with tofu. The amounts of soy isoflavones foods consumed in order from highest to lowest were rice with soybeans, soybean paste stew, seasoned soybean sprouts, and soy paste with tofu. Subjects were divided into three groups by isoflavones intake levels; the small intake group, moderate intake group, and large intake group. There were significant differences in some menstrual symptoms, and postmenstrual symptoms by isoflavones intake levels. In general, the moderate isoflavones intake group showed lower scores in some menstrual symptoms and postmenstrual periods compared to the small and large intake groups. Conclusions: These results suggest some positive health effects of isoflavones from soy foods on perimenstrual symptoms. More accurate, objective measurement needs to be applied and more investigation of soy isoflavones effects on many aspects of women's health need to be done in a future study.

본 연구는 청소년의 학업스트레스와 월경 태도, 월경곤란증 실태를 살펴보고 월경곤란증에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 대상자는 고등학생 여학생으로 연구 참여에 동의한 131명의 설문지가 분석되었다. 상관관계 분석 결과, 월경에 대해 부정적인 태도를 가질수록, 신체 증상이 심할수록, 적극적인 대처를 할수록, 정서적 변화가 클수록 월경곤란증을 심하게 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 청소년의 월경곤란증에 영향을 미치는 요인은 월경 태도 중 신체 증상과 월경에 대한 수용이었으며, 변수에 대한 설명력은 68.8%였다. 결론적으로 청소년의 월경곤란증에 영향을 미치는 요인인 정적 수용 및 신체 증상을 고려하여 학교 보건 차원에서 청소년의 월경곤란증을 관리하기 위한 통합적인 지식을 제공할 수 있는 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 더 나아가 부정적으로 경험하게 되는 감정조절을 위한 정서적 지지 프로그램과 같은 개별적이고 다차원적인 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Introduction : The aim of this study was to investigate menstrual pattern according to Mibyeong Index(MBI) and compare Mibyeong symptom score according to severity of menstrual pain. Mibyeong Index was designed to measure inconvenience and resilience of subject's complains including four physical symptoms(fatigue, pain, low sleep quality, indigestion) and mental distress including anxiety, anger, depression. Method : We used the clinical data of Korean medicine Date Center(KDC) for subjects who participated in the study of 'Clinical research for collecting of clinical cases based on the personal type of Mibyeng' conducted in Seoul, from June 26, 2015 to June 26, 2017. A total of 566 fertile women aged 30 to 50 who completed the questionnaires were included in this study. In this study, we used items of Mibyeong Index and the menstrual pattern by self-report questionnaires. The date were analyzed through Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson's chi-square test, and one-way ANOVA using SPSS statistics 19.0. Results : Mibyeong status was significantly associated with severity of menstrual pain(p<0.001), worst day of menstrual pain(p<0.05), and type of menstrual pain(low back pain, nausea, depression, and none (respectively, p<0.05)). In addition, The 7-subtype score (fatigue (p<0.001), pain(p<0.001), low sleep quality(p<0.001), indigestion(p<0.001), anxiety(p<0.05), anger(p<0.05) and depression(p<0.05)) of Mibyeong index and total score of Mibyeong Index (p<0.001) showed significant difference for severity of menstrual pain. Conclusion : This result indicates that a close relationship between Mibyeong status and severity of menstrual pain. Further studies are needed but, we hope that this results will be used as the basic data to improve mibyeong status through health care to alleviate dysmenorrhea.

Purpose: In this study the impact of pro-environmental behavior, well-being oriented behavior, and use of cloth menstrual pads on dysmenorrhea in Korean female adults was examined according to the theory of reasoned action. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 195 Korean female adults. Data were collected from June to August, 2010 using self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple regression, and logit regression with STATA 10.0. Results: Pro-environmental behavior explained 48% of well-being oriented behavior. Well-being oriented behavior explained 10% of cloth pad use. Use of cloth pad explained 4% of dysmenorrhea and 5% of menstrual pain. The path through well-being oriented behavior had a significant effect from pro-environmental behavior to cloth pad use. Conclusion: Use of cloth pad was significantly related with well-being oriented behavior, pro-environmental behavior, social influence, dysmenorrhea, and menstrual pain. The results of this study suggest that pro-environmental strategies can help health care providers diminish clients' menstrual symptoms. Nursing intervention can support pro-environmental behavioral strategies.
