dc.description.abstract | Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical pain and pain catastrophizing (PC) cognition in primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Moreover, this study evaluates the effects of temperament characteristics and impulsivity levels on PC. Material and Methods: In this study, 258 patients who were diagnosed with PD and met the inclusion criteria were included. According to the Andersch and Milsom Scale, the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of those whose functionality was impaired at moderate and severe levels due to pain, whereas Group 2 consisted of those whose functionality was not impaired at all and those who are mildly affected. Socio-demographic data form and the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and the Short Form of Barratt Impulsiveness Scale were applied to all patients. Results: The functionality of patients with PD was significantly impaired by 53.1%, and the main symptom determining functionality was pain. The total and subscale PCS score averages in Group 1 were significantly higher than those in Group 2. Cyclothymic temperament and impulsivity explained 20% of the variance on PC. Discussion: Psychological factors have an important role in managing PD. For this reason, both gynecological and psychiatric evaluations of patients with PD during treatment and the multidisciplinary treatment approach to be applied when necessary will improve the patients' quality of life and help them easily cope with symptoms. | en_US |
