“…This high level of stress makes it easier to feel pain at a higher level, which has been found to be one of the factors that exacerbates PMS. Also, similar to the findings of an earlier study examining nursing students [68], sleep quality was also identified as having a statistically significant negative effect on PMS, with higher sleep quality being associated with lower PMS severity. This supports previous research that suggests that worse sleep quality can alter estrogen and progesterone concentrations, leading to PMS [40].…”

Background: This study aimed to explain premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in nursing students based on the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TOUS). PMS includes physiological factors (pain intensity during clinical practice, sleep quality), psychological factors (neuroticism, stress), situational factors (attitudes toward menstruation, sex role stereotypes) that influence symptoms. Therefore, thoroughly investigating the correlates of PMS among nursing students is necessary.Method: Data were collected from March 2022 to May 2022 through a cross-sectional study of female students using a selfreported questionnaire. A total of 330 female students (in the fourth grade) enrolled in the nursing department of a college in G city were recruited via convenience sampling. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to explore differences in PMS, with Scheffe's test performed post hoc. We analyzed correlations using Pearson's correlation and performed multiple regression analyses to investigate the factors influencing PMS.Results: PMS was positively significantly correlated with menstrual pain intensity during clinical practice (r = 0.51, p < 0.01), attitudes toward menstruation (r = 0.15, p < 0.01), neuroticism (r = 0.37, p < 0.01) and stress (r = 0.39, p < 0.01), but negatively correlated with sleep quality (r = −0.38, p < 0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that menstrual pain intensity during clinical practice (β = 0.42), sleep quality (β = −0.23), neuroticism (β = 0.17) and stress (β = 0.21) affected PMS. The regression model was significant (F = 44.64, p < 0.001) and explanatory power was 44%. Conclusion:The findings of this study identified physiological and psychological factors influencing PMS. Developing an appropriate understanding of these influencing factors and customized interventions may be associated with the improvement of PMS in female college students enrolled in the Department of Nursing

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at investigating the current status and prevalence of sleep disturbance in Korean university students and provide evidence to develop appropriate strategies for improving sleep disturbance.Methods: Pooled prevalence of sleep disturbance in Korean university students was assessed using PubMed, CINAHL, Research Information Sharing Service, National Assembly Library, Korean studies Information Service System, and Korea Citation Index databases. A total of 1,843 studies were retrieved from the literature search, and 14 studies were included in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using comprehensive meta-analysis software.Results: The overall pooled prevalence was 48.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 41.6-56.3%). Subgroup analyses revealed that the pooled prevalence rates were 59.2% (95% CI, 38.8-50.7%) in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)-based and 26.0% (95% CI, 19.5-33.9%) in non-PSQI-based studies, 23.2% (95% CI, 15.6-33.1%) in low-quality and 56.9% (95% CI, 49.3-64.2%) in moderate-quality studies, 35.6% (95% CI, 33.4-37.8%) in studies published before 2010 and 51.4% (95% CI, 42.9-59.8%) in studies published since 2011.Conclusions: The prevalence of sleep disturbance is higher in university students. Therefore, further studies are needed to identify sleep problems of university students and gain future-oriented insights to develop mediation strategies.

Objective This study aimed to examine the prevalence and features of migraine and explore the possible migraine triggers in a sample of university nursing students in Hong Kong. Methods A cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaires was conducted in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2016. The questionnaire included ID Migraine™ for migraine screening and items measuring the frequency, duration, severity, associated symptoms, and trigger factors of migraine. Years 2–5 undergraduate nursing students from the university completed the questionnaires. Binary logistic regression was conducted to examine the migraine-associated factors. Results A total of 702 nursing students, including 168 males and 534 females, were successfully screened. Their mean age was 20.8 ± 1.4 years. The overall prevalence of migraine reached 11.8%. Over half (67.5%) of the students with migraine experienced attacks at least once per month. Each attack had a median duration of 3 h (interquartile range: 1–4 h) and the mean pain intensity score of 6.4 ± 1.6. Students with a family history of migraine (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.89; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10, 3.25; p < 0.05) and poor general health status (Adjusted OR: 3.41, 95% CI: 1.05, 11.09; p < 0.05) were more likely to suffer from migraine than those without. The three most common migraine triggers were the lack of sleep (94.0%), change in sleep schedule (83.1%), and noise (81.9%). Female students were more likely to experience fatigue-triggered migraine than male students (85.9% vs 63.2%, p < 0.05). Conclusion Migraine prevalence was relatively high among undergraduate nursing students in Hong Kong. Sleep problem was the most frequent trigger factor. The students’ awareness of migraine attacks should be increased, and migraine management must be improved by avoiding common trigger factors in this population.
