Abstract

Premenstrual syndrome is characterized by physical and psychological symptoms that negatively affect daily functioning. This study investigated the effect of a psychoeducation program based on cognitive-behavioral psychodrama techniques on premenstrual syndrome symptoms. This study utilized a 2 × 2 pretest-posttest, experimental-control group research design. The sample consisted of 32 participants randomized into experimental (n = 16) and control (n = 16) groups. The experimental group participated in a seven-session psychoeducation program based on cognitive-behavioral psychodrama techniques. Data were collected using a personal information questionnaire and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). The experimental group demonstrated a significantly lower median posttest PMSS total and 'depressive affect', 'fatigue', 'irritability', 'depressive thoughts', 'changes in appetite' and 'changes in sleeping habits' subscale scores than the pretest score (p < .05). Moreover, the experimental group had a significantly lower median posttest 'anxiety' score than the control group (p = .021). A psychoeducational program based on cognitive-behavioral and psychodrama techniques can be used as an effective therapeutic intervention to relieve or managing premenstrual symptoms.

基于认知行为心理剧技术的心理教育计划对经前期综合征症状的影响：随机对照试验。

经前期综合征的特点是出现生理和心理症状，对日常功能产生负面影响。本研究调查了基于认知行为心理剧技术的心理教育计划对经前期综合征症状的影响。本研究采用了 2 × 2 前测-后测、实验-对照组的研究设计。样本由 32 名参与者组成，随机分为实验组（16 人）和对照组（16 人）。实验组参加了一个为期七节、以认知行为心理剧技术为基础的心理教育项目。数据收集采用了个人信息问卷和经前期综合征量表（PMSS）。实验组的经前综合征量表总分和 "抑郁情绪"、"疲劳"、"易怒"、"抑郁想法"、"食欲变化 "和 "睡眠习惯变化 "分量表得分的中位数明显低于前测得分（p p = .021）。基于认知行为和心理剧技术的心理教育计划可作为一种有效的治疗干预措施，用于缓解或控制经前期症状。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
