The type of research was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group. The research will be conducted with female students studying at Pamukkale University Faculty of Health Sciences. The data of the research will be collected between March 2024 and February 2025. Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale and Menstruation Symptom Scale will be used to collect data. It was determined that a total of 62 people should participate in the research, 31 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. As the randomization method, simple randomization will be used to ensure an equal number of samples in the experimental and control groups. Randomization will be done using the www.randomizer.org application. The data will be analyzed using the SPSS (23.0) package program. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables will be given as number and percentage. Significance Test of Difference Between Two Means in comparing independent group differences when parametric test assumptions are met; When parametric test assumptions are not met, Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent group differences.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| menstruation symptom scale | Two months | Participants are asked to rate the symptoms they experience regarding menstruation between 1 (never) and 5 (always). Scale items are numbered according to certain factors for ease of use. Items 1-13 belong to the Negative effects/somatic complaints subcategory, items 14-19 belong to the Menstrual pain symptoms subcategory, and items 20-22 belong to the Coping methods subcategory. A five-point Likert type was used in the Menstruation Symptom Scale, which consists of 22 items. The score obtained from the sub-dimensions is calculated by taking the total score average of the items in the relevant sub-dimension. An increase in the mean score for sub-dimensions indicates that the severity of menstrual symptoms in that sub-dimension has increased. |
Secondary
