We evaluated structural and construct validity, measurement invariance, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, and interpretability. Three thousand three hundred and thirty-five people participated in the study. The Dysmenorrhea-related Presenteeism Scale is a 9-item, one-factor instrument. Internal consistency, measurement invariance, and test-retest reliability were sufficient. There is no systematic error. We established 38 points or more was the cutoff point to classify people as having a significant impact of dysmenorrhea on work and/or study productivity. We found that the Dysmenorrhea-related Presenteeism Scale has sufficient measurement properties and may be a useful instrument to assess the impact of dysmenorrhea on work and/or study productivity in people.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147785759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After baseline testing participants were randomly assigned to either practice of TM or to a waitlist control group. Participants learned TM over five consecutive days and then practiced at home for 20 -minutes twice a day. Post testing took place after three months. A significant reduction was found in perceived stress, anger, and fatigue, and a significant improvement in self-efficacy and sleep quality. In a follow-up questionnaire at eight months, participants reported improved physical and mental health, increased ability to handle domestic violence, and improved relationships. Results indicate the TM program has a positive impact on psychological distress and coping and could add value to programs for women in Uganda.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146126990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical features, the presence and pattern of abnormal menstruation post-infection, were obtained through the questionnaire.Results: Of 87 women, the mean age was 33.5 ± 7.2 years. Nine had preexisting menstrual abnormalities (10.3%). The abnormalities were found in 20 women (23.0%), or 2.2-fold higher post-infection. Among these, 17 women (68.0%) had newly developed symptoms. Irregular menstruation was most common in both settings, 33.3% pre-infection and 20.0% post-infection. By univariate analysis, features with higher risk were age ≤ 33 years (crude odds ratio [cOR] 1.61), obesity (cOR 1.74), COVID vaccination > 3 doses (cOR 3.28), > 1 episode of infection (cOR 3.94), contraception use before (OR 1.47) or after infection (cOR 1.92), abnormal menstruation before COVID infection (cOR 44.0), and presence of other long COVID symptoms (cOR 2.09). The differences were statistically significant for vaccination > 3 doses and had abnormal menstruation pre-infection, with the latter as an independent risk by multivariate analysis (adjusted OR 39.58).Conclusion: The prevalence of abnormal menstruation post-COVID infection was 23%. Abnormal menstruation pre-infection was an independent risk factor.","PeriodicalId":47836,"journal":{"name":"Health Care for Women International","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146107958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
