摘要：
PurposeThe aim of this study is to determine the relationship of premenstrual and menstrual symptoms to alexithymia among nursing students. Design and MethodsThis descriptive study was conducted with 284 undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected using Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), Menstrual Symptom Scale (MSQ), and Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20). FindingsThe PMSS, MSQ, and TAS-20 mean scores were 103.5635.08, 2.92 +/- 0.8, and 45.22 +/- 9.17, respectively. There was statistically significant positive correlation between TAS-20 and PMSS and MSQ mean scores (p<.05). Practical ImplicationsWomen should be evaluated for alexithymia to prevent the adverse effects of premenstrual and menstrual symptoms.
