Summary

Premenstrual syndrome is a cyclical disorder characterized by physical and emotional symptoms that appear in the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subside within a few days with the onset of menstruation. Non-pharmacological methods should be recommended first to women who experience PMS symptoms. For this purpose, it is planned to apply foot bath to university students with premenstrual syndrome.

The study was planned as a randomized controlled single-blind study. The universe of the research will be female students studying at Ordu University Faculty of Education in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the first stage of the study, female students who are 18 years of age and older and who voluntarily agree to participate in the research will be taken without making a sample selection. Considering the possibility of data loss during the research process, it was planned to work on 39 intervention and 39 control groups, including a total of 78 women In the collection of data; Personal Information Form, Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be used. PSQI and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be applied to students in the intervention group. The foot bath will be applied for 3 months, starting 7-10 days before the menstrual cycle, that is, in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Students will be asked to fill out the Footbath Monitoring Form in order to assess whether they have taken a footbath. Those who apply foot bath at least 7 times will be included in the study. In case of less than seven students, the student will be excluded from the research and the new student who meets the criteria will be included in the research. At the end of each cycle, PMSÖ, PSQI and SF-36 will be administered to the students by the researcher. When the students in the Control Group are determined, PSQI and SF-36 will be applied by the researcher, and then PMSÖ, PSQI and SF-36 will be applied at the end of each cycle.
