Povezanost odnosa do menstruacije, relacijskih potreb in sočutja do sebe s predmenstrualnimi simptomi : magistrsko delo

Jurkas Omerzo, Sara (avtor), Žvelc, Gregor (mentor)

Predmenstrualne simptome doživlja večina posameznic, medtem ko jih približno 50 % ustreza kriteriju za predmenstrualni sindrom (PMS) in 1,6 % za predmenstrualno disforično motnjo (PMDD). Na pojavnost simptomov vpliva vrsta dejavnikov, namen magistrskega dela pa je bil raziskati vlogo odnosa do menstruacije, sočutja do sebe in zadovoljenosti relacijskih potreb. Raziskava je bila izvedena na slovenskem vzorcu 702 posameznic, starih med 18 in 45 let, ki so izpolnile Vprašalnik odnosa do menstruacije, Lestvico predmenstrualnega sindroma, Lestvico zadovoljenosti relacijskih potreb in Lestvico sočutja do sebe. Dojemanje menstruacije kot izčrpavajoče in pričakovanje njenega začetka napovedujeta intenzivnejše simptome, medtem ko zanikanje njenih vplivov napoveduje blažje simptome. Menstruacija kot moteči dogodek ni imela pomembnega učinka. Dojemanje menstruacije kot naravne napoveduje manj intenzivne predmenstrualne simptome, vendar se ta povezava pokaže šele v razširjenem modelu, kjer je upoštevano sočutje do sebe kot kontrolna spremenljivka. Sočutje do sebe in relacijske potrebe napovedujeta intenzivnost predmenstrualnih simptomov, tako da posameznice z višjo mero sočutja do sebe in bolj zadovoljenimi relacijskimi potrebami poročajo o blažjih simptomih. Preverili smo tudi moderatorsko vlogo sočutja do sebe in relacijskih potreb v relaciji med odnosom do menstruacije in predmenstrualnimi simptomi. Izkazalo se je, da sočutje do sebe ublaži negativni vpliv pričakovanja menstruacije na doživljanje simptomov, medtem ko učinek v modelu z relacijskimi potrebami ni bil značilen. Ugotovitve predstavljajo korak naprej v raziskovanju in oblikovanju razumevanja predmenstrualne simptomatike kot kompleksne celote, ki vključuje ne le biološke, ampak tudi psihološke in relacijske dejavnike.

Most women experience premenstrual symptoms, while approximately 50 % meet the criteria for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and 1.6 % for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The occurrence of symptoms is influenced by a number of factors, and the purpose of this master's thesis was to investigate the role of attitudes toward menstruation, self-compassion, and satisfaction of relational needs. The study was conducted on a Slovenian sample of 702 women aged 18 to 45 who completed the Menstrual Attitude Questionnaire, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale, the Relationship Needs Satisfaction Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale. Perceiving menstruation as exhausting and anticipating its onset predict more intense symptoms, while denying its effects predicts milder symptoms. Menstruation as a disruptive event had no significant effect. Perceiving menstruation as natural predicts less intense premenstrual symptoms, but this association only becomes apparent in an extended model that includes self-compassion as a control variable. Self-compassion and relational needs predict the intensity of premenstrual symptoms, such that individuals with higher levels of self-compassion and more satisfied relational needs report milder symptoms. We also examined the moderating role of self-compassion and relational needs in the relationship between attitudes toward menstruation and premenstrual symptoms. It was found that self-compassion moderates the negative impact of menstrual expectations on symptom experience, while the effect in the model with relational needs was not significant. The findings represent a step forward in researching and developing an understanding of premenstrual syndrome symptoms as a complex not only biological but also psychological and relational factors.
