Impact of Dysmenorrhea on Academic Performance Among Haramaya University Undergraduate Regular Students, Eastern Ethiopia.
This isn't my usual post but I came across this research and thought that it would be good to share 😊
Dysmenorrhea is another term for menstrual cramps or period pain that tends to occur in the lower abdomen of menstruating women 🩸
In this study pain intensity & premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was significantly associated with impact of dysmenorrhoea on academic performance 📚
The various impacts that female students reported on their academic performance included:
•Unable to study for an exam
•Loss of class concentration
•Inability to do homework
•Loss of class participation
This research really highlights the impact of PMS & dysmenorrhea on young women’s education which is sad because so much can be done to help!
Ladies don’t forget how strong you are dealing with this each month! 💪🏼
