## What they did

Cross-sectional survey of 136 final-year health science students using questionnaires measuring knowledge, stress level, and PMS symptoms.

Managing stress may help reduce PMS, though learning more about PMS alone didn't reduce symptoms in this study. Results are from one university in Indonesia and may vary elsewhere.

Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh melalui uji gamma dengan nilai p=0,059, yang menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan premenstrual syndrome.
