Objective
:The research was conducted to determine the relationship between dysmenorrhea and personality traits in university
students.
Method
: Research is descriptive and correlation study’s. The study universe consisted of 2426 female students of Mus Alparslan
University. The sample of the study consisted of 772 students by determining via power analysis. Participant Presentation Form
and Cervantes Personality Scale were used in the data collection; the data were collected between 1 February and 1 March
2017. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Chi square and independent t test were used in the evaluation of the data.
Results
: In the study, 85% of the students had dysmenorrhea. There was a significant relationship between dysmenorrhea and
age of the students and the class they were in (p<0.05). In addition, it was found that those who did not consume cola had
more dysmenorrhea than those who consumed cola (p<0.05). According to the Cervantes Personality Scale of the students, the
average subscale score of emotional balance-neuroticism was 14.36±5.74 consistent-inconsistent average subscale score was
20.33±20.0 and outward inward average subscale score was 18.65±19.5. As the average score of emotional balance neuroticism
and consistency inconsistency of students increased, the frequency of dysmenorrhea was also increased (p<0.05).
Conclusion
: In the study, it was found that most students experienced dysmenorrhea and it was more common in neurotic and
incoherent persons. It is suggested that the health staff should approach women in a holistic way by knowing that personality
traits are a factor affected by dysmenorrhea.
