Summary

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the planned behavior theory-based education program applied to university students with primary dysmenorrhea on physical activity behavior and dysmenorrhea's impact.

Detailed description

The study was planned to be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study in the pre-test-post-test order. The research was planned to be conducted at Bitlis Eren University. The population of the research consists of first year students studying at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Faculty of Fine Arts, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Islamic Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, who are studying at Bitlis Eren University in the 2023-2024 academic year. The sample of the research will consist of 54 students who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the research. Considering the possible losses that may occur during the research process, a total of 68 students are planned to be accepted. The research data were collected with; "Inclusion Criteria Questionnaire", "Exhibitor Introduction Form", "Visual Pain Scale", "Physical Activity Scale", "Dysmenorrhea Impact Scale Short Form", "The Self-Effıcacy Scale" and "Daily Step Tracking Form". In the research, Planned Behavior Theory Based Training Program consisting of 4 sessions will be applied to the intervention group, and information will be given to the control group about the process of the research and the data collection forms to be used. Students in both groups will have 3 menstrual cycles after the education. In the study, it is planned to use descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean and standard deviation) in the analysis of quantitative data, t test and Mann Whitney U test in the comparison of paired groups, Mcnemar test in the comparison of two groups, analysis of variance in the comparison of multiple groups, and Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis in relational inferences.

BEHAVIORAL	Theory of Planned Behavior Based Training Program	Theory of Planned Behavior Based Training Program will be implemented. The training program will consist of 4 sessions. First session; It will consist of the definition, symptoms and treatment approaches of primary dysmenorrhea. Content of the second session; It will consist of lifestyle interventions in dysmenorrhea. Content of the third session; It will consist of the importance of physical activity in primary dysmenorrhea. The fourth session consists of a group walk. Students will be monitored for 3 menstrual cycles. Starting from the end of the first menstrual period after completion of the training session, students will be asked to record their daily step count using a pedometer. In each menstrual period, the average of the students' monthly step count and average menstrual pain score will be evaluated. After the training sessions are completed, students will be given an end-of-menstrual motivational interview for 3 menstrual cycles.
