- Abstract
Purpose: The present study investigated the effects of psychoeducation based on a cognitive‐behavioral approach on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms in young adult women. Design and Methods: The study was performed as a randomized controlled trial. The sample size was identified as 90 (45 intervention group/45 control group) students. The psychoeducation intervention consisted of five sessions performed over a 4‐week period. Findings: There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest total mean scores of the intervention group that received psychoeducation (P <.05). There was also a significant difference in depressive thoughts, irritability, and fatigue mean scores between the two groups (P <.05). Practical Implications: The use of this approach and its inclusion in nursing care interventions is recommended to reduce PMS symptoms in young adult women.
