This study is aimed to carry out the Turkish version validity and reliability of the Premenstrual Syndrome Impact Questionnaire (PMS-IQ).
Although the severity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms varies among women, it is known that PMS symptoms are common, especially in young adult women. The most common symptoms are nervousness, breast tenderness, depression, abdominal swelling and general body edema. Along with personal and mental differences, it has been one of the important problems to cope with PMS symptoms, which are frequently experienced in a variable order from mild to severe in each menstrual cycle period. Sometimes the complaints are so severe that they negatively affect the individual's activities of daily living. This syndrome, which negatively affects the quality of life of the individual, also prepares the ground for the formation of serious mental problems. Most questionnaires for the assessment of premenstrual symptoms only measure the presence and/ or intensity of premenstrual symptoms by a retrospective or prospective grading, not the effect caused by the symptoms. Premenstrual Syndrome Impact Questionnaire (PMS-IQ) assesses functional interaction in daily life as well as psychological stress and is designed for premenstrual symptoms. It takes into account the complex and multifaceted nature of the disorder, thus facilitating the diagnosis process by evaluating the necessary effect and enabling the planning and evaluation of the treatment. There is no Turkish version and validity study of PMS-IQ. This study is aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of PMS-IQ. The study of validity and reliability is planned with 99 individuals with PMS. The sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals will be questioned by the investigators and then the patients will be evaluated with PMS-IQ, Premenstrual Coping Measure (PCM), Pain Disability Index (PDI), Big Five Personality Traits Scale (BFPTS), Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PSS), and Premenstrual Symptoms Impact Survey (PMSIS). The test-retest will be re-administered by face-to-face interview technique after 1 week. The results will be analyzed using the SPSS version 22.0 computer package program.
