# How many Greek nursing students have PMS or PMDD?

Among 101 Greek nursing students who completed the study, 25.7% had PMS and 8.9% had PMDD.

 Early or limited evidence

125 Greek nursing students aged 18-22

## What they did

Researchers assessed premenstrual symptoms in 125 Greek nursing students aged 18-22 using the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST). They tracked symptoms over one menstrual cycle.

## What they found

Of the 101 students who completed the questionnaire, 26 met the criteria for PMS (25.7%). Nine students (8.9%) met the criteria for PMDD.

## What it means for you

PMS and PMDD are common among nursing students. This study was limited to one country and to nursing students specifically, so findings may not apply to all women.
