Pages

Abstract

 Background: Women with recurrent and severe symptoms are diagnosed as having PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS), and if they suffer from severe affective symptoms, a diagnosis of PREMENSTRUAL DYSPHORIC DISORDER (PMDD) is made. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of WORK STRESS with PMS and PMDD.Methods: Fifty-five FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS in their internship program (ten 24-hour shifts per month) and 38 third-year FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS without any shift duties were asked to participate in this study. A questionnaire was used to record demographic information and a self-report inventory was used to measure 13 symptoms relevant to PMS and PMDD according to DSM-IV criteria. All participants were asked to complete the inventory every night around midnight for those on shifts or before going to bed at home for 60 consecutive nights.Results: Out of 55 volunteers in the shift-work group, 31 (56%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for PMS in contrast to 12 (32%) in the control group. The frequency of PMDD was 12 (22%) in the intern group and 5 (13%) in the control group. Twenty one students (55%) from the control group did not have PMS or PMDD, compared to 12 (22%) students from the shift workers. Decreased energy (70.9%) and irritability (65.4%) were the most frequent symptoms during the luteal phase in the shift-work group.Conclusion: WORK STRESS and an increase in responsibility may produce or exacerbate PMS. Self-help approaches to induce self-awareness, along with psychological and psychiatric interventions, may help susceptible women to overcome this cyclic condition in order to increase their productivity as well as their quality of life.
