Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Outcome Measure 1

Menstrual Attitude Scale will be used to score the menstrual attitude level. The scale consists of 33 items. MBI consists of five subscales that question the positive and negative aspects of menstruation. 1. Menstruation as a debilitating phenomenon, 2. Menstruation as a disturbing phenomenon, 3. Menstruation as a natural phenomenon, 4. Noticing/anticipating that menstruation will occur 5. Deny the effects of menstruation. The scale is Likert type and evaluated between 1-7. The reliability coefficient of the original scale is 0.95-0.97. A high average of the scores obtained from the items, subgroups or the entire scale in the Menstruation Attitude Scale indicates that the attitude towards menstruation is "positive". As the scores of the scale increase, the positive attitude towards menstruation increases. At the same time, it is planned to increase the scale score by providing planned training.

Primary Outcome Measure 2

The Menstrual Symptom Scale will be used to score menstrual symptom level. The Menstruation Symptom Scale evaluates menstrual pain and symptoms. Participants are asked to give a number between 1 (never) and 5 (always) to the symptoms they experience regarding menstruation. 1-13. Items belong to the "Negative effects/somatic complaints" subscale, items 14-19. The items refer to the "Menstrual pain symptoms" subscale and items 20-22. The items belong to the "Coping methods" sub-dimension. Cronbach's Alpha value is 0.86. It is a five-point Likert type scale consisting of 22 items. The score obtained from the sub-dimensions is calculated by taking the total score average of the items in the sub-dimensions. An increase in the mean score for sub-dimensions indicates that the severity of menstrual symptoms related to that sub-dimension has increased. At the same time, it is planned to reduce the scale score by providing planned training.

Primary Outcome Measure 3

State and Trait Anxiety Scale will be used to score the state and trait anxiety level. Each expression in the scale is "Not at all" (1), "Somewhat" (2), "A lot" (3), "Completely" (4). It indicates that 0-19 points obtained from the scale mean no anxiety, 20-39 points mean mild anxiety, 40-59 points mean moderate anxiety, and 60-79 points mean severe anxiety, and individuals with scores of 60 and above need professional help. At the same time, it is planned to reduce the scale score by providing planned training.
