Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of the symptoms will be measured using The Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST)(4) before and after intervention for about 3 months. It is a clinician friendly and self-report screening tool for PMS/PMDD which rates the influence of premenstrual symptoms on daily activities. The PSST consists of 19 items subdivided into two domains. The first domain included: 1) psychological symptoms (questions 1–4), behavioral/social (questions 5–8) and physical symptoms (questions 9–14). The second domain rates the functional impact of these symptoms on work efficiency or productivity, relationships with coworkers and family, social life activities, and home responsibilities. Data collected will be interpreted and analyzed for the result.Timepoint: 3 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of quality of life will be measured using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire(9,10) before and after the 3 months of intervention session. The WHOQOL-BREF produces four domain scores. This constitutes about an individual’s overall perception of quality of life and an individual’s overall perception of his or her health. Domain scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life). The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score.Timepoint: 3 months | — |
