Abstract

This study aimed to assess the relationship between menstruation-related attributes and mental distress in adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Rangeli Municipality, Nepal, among 270 adolescent girls. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were calculated at a 5% level of significance to identify factors associated with depression, anxiety and stress. Of 270 adolescent girls, 28.9% (95% CI: 23.5%-35.2%) experienced anxiety, 14.4% (95% CI: 10.0%-18.5%) experienced stress and 32.2% (95% CI: 26.6%-37.4%) experienced depression. Low perceived family support during menstruation (aOR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.03-7.97), low perceived support from friends during menstruation (aOR: 4.09, 95% CI: 1.66-10.07) and experiencing moderate/severe dysmenorrhea (aOR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.105-5.08) were associated with anxiety. Those with moderate/severe dysmenorrhoea had higher odds (aOR: 5.60, 95% CI: 1.56-20.05) of experiencing stress. Low perceived family support (aOR: 3.07, 95% CI: 1.08-8.67), low perceived support from friends (aOR: 2.77, 95% CI: 1.11-6.89) and experiencing moderate to severe dysmenorrhoea (aOR: 3.56, 95% CI: 1.63-7.79) were associated with depression. The findings underscore the importance of proper management of dysmenorrhoea and need for social support from both family and friends during menstruation as these factors are associated with psychological distress among adolescent girls.

尼泊尔在校少女的月经经历及其与心理困扰的关系:一项横断面研究。
本研究旨在评估月经相关属性与少女精神痛苦之间的关系。这项横断面研究在尼泊尔兰吉利市对 270 名少女进行了调查。研究采用自填式问卷收集数据。在 5%的显著性水平下,计算了未调整和调整后的几率比(aOR),以确定与抑郁、焦虑和压力相关的因素。在 270 名少女中,28.9%(95% CI:23.5%-35.2%)经历过焦虑,14.4%(95% CI:10.0%-18.5%)经历过压力,32.2%(95% CI:26.6%-37.4%)经历过抑郁。月经期间感知到的家庭支持少(aOR:2.87,95% CI:1.03-7.97)、月经期间感知到的朋友支持少(aOR:4.09,95% CI:1.66-10.07)以及中度/重度痛经(aOR:2.31,95% CI:1.105-5.08)与焦虑有关。中度/重度痛经者有较高的压力几率(aOR:5.60,95% CI:1.56-20.05)。低感知家庭支持(aOR:3.07,95% CI:1.08-8.67)、低感知朋友支持(aOR:2.77,95% CI:1.11-6.89)和中度至重度痛经(aOR:3.56,95% CI:1.63-7.79)与抑郁有关。研究结果强调了正确处理痛经以及在月经期间需要家人和朋友的社会支持的重要性,因为这些因素与少女的心理困扰有关。
