Brief Summary
Yoga and progressive relaxation exercises are seen as a valuable approach for the management of PMS, which is very common in young women and has significant negative effects on academic participation, social activities and quality of life. Despite the conclusion that yoga and progressive relaxation exercises are an effective method in the treatment of PMS in a significant part of the studies in the literature, it is mentioned that the data are insufficient in terms of method and methodology and the necessity of studies that can support the results. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of yoga and progressive muscle relaxation exercises on menstrual symptoms, depression, anxiety and stress in university students with premenstrual syndrome.

Premenstrual Syndrome Scale
Premenstrual syndrome scale is a five-point Likert type scale consisting of 44 questions measuring the severity of premenstrual symptoms based on DSM-III and DSM-IV-R, in order to measure the severity of premenstrual symptoms by Gençdoğan (2006). In scoring the scale, the "Never" option is evaluated as 1 point, the "Very little" option as 2 points, the "Sometimes" option as 3 points, the "Often" option as 4 points, and the "Constantly" option as 5 points.

Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21
The DASS-21 scale, which is an abbreviated version of DASÖ-42 developed by Lovibond and Lovibond in 1995, was used. The 21-item short form (DASS-21) of the scale was adapted to Turkish by Sarıçam in 2018 in normal and clinical samples. The scale is a 4-point Likert-type scale and includes 21 questions in total, 7 questions each to measure the dimensions of depression, anxiety and stress.
