Survey study, 2024 # How severe are PMS symptoms in working women teachers, and how are different symptom types related? PMS symptoms are common and significant in working women teachers. Physical, behavioral, and psychological symptoms are strongly connected - women with severe body symptoms also tend to have mood and behavior changes. Early or limited evidence 100 working women teachers in Kalaburagi, India ## What they did Cross-sectional correlation study of 100 working women teachers at schools in Kalaburagi, India. Researchers measured physiological (body-related), behavioral (action-related), and psychological (mood and thinking-related) premenstrual symptoms using questionnaires. ## What they found Physiological symptoms scored mean 55.60 (70% of max), behavioral symptoms 45.32 (78% of max), and psychological symptoms 46.90 (80% of max). Overall mean was 150.15 (75% of max). Strong positive correlations were found between physiological and psychological symptoms (r=0.810, p<0.001), physiological and behavioral symptoms (r=0.729, p<0.001), and psychological and behavioral symptoms (r=0.627, p<0.001). ## What it means for you PMS affects multiple areas at the same time - body, mood, and behavior are interconnected. This suggests PMS is a whole-person condition. The study only included teachers in India, so results may not apply to women in other occupations or countries. 100 teachers studied 0.810 correlation physical and psychological symptoms 55.60 mean physiological symptom score ## About the study Original title Premenstrual symptoms analysis: severity and correlations across physiological, behavioural, and psychological domains among working women in selected schools at Kalaburagi Authors Bemina JA, Thereza Mathias Journal International Journal of Reproduction Contraception Obstetrics and Gynecology Year 2024 Study design Survey study Participants 100 What was tested None - measurement of symptom severity Open access Yes Read the paper [doi.org/10.18203/2320-1770.ijrcog20242063](https://doi.org/10.18203/2320-1770.ijrcog20242063) ## Topics [Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)](https://niyora.com/research/topics/condition-pms/)[Work and productivity](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-work/)[Quality of life and daily functioning](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-quality-of-life/)[Students and academic performance](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-education/) Research tells you what helps on average.
