How aware are men of what PMS is and how it affects their partners?
This abstract only describes the background and purpose of the study; it does not give the actual results on men's awareness, attitude, or behavior regarding PMS.
What they did
The text explains that PMS is common in women of reproductive age and can strain relationships, and states that the study aimed to look at awareness, attitude, and performance of men regarding PMS among people attending selected health centers in Urmia in 2016. No details on how many men were surveyed or how are given in this excerpt.
What they found
No study results are reported in this excerpt. It only notes background facts: PMS is estimated to affect close to 80% of women of reproductive age, and PMS symptoms (such as depression, irritability, and physical complaints) can affect relationships, including marital satisfaction.
What it means for you
Without the results section, nothing can be concluded about how aware or supportive men actually are. The key limit is that this abstract excerpt only covers the introduction and aim, not the methods, sample size, or findings.
