Brief Summary

Objectives: Investigating the effects of listening to music and drawing on nursing students with dysmenorrhea on dysmenorrhea complaints is a new and promising area of research. However, high-level evidence on whether listening to music and drawing has an effect on dysmenorrhea complaints is insufficient. The current study addresses this research question.. Design: A three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 96 nursing students with dysmenorrhea.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Pain evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale.

  The intensity of pain is measured using the VAS, a valid and reliable tool for measuring experimental and clinical pain. The VAS is scored on a horizontal line of 10 cm (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain).

  change from before implamentation patent and after 2. and 3. month of practice.

• Mensruation symptom evaluated using the Menstruation Symptom Scale (MSS).

  This scale was developed in English by Chesney and Tasto in 1975 to assess menstrual pain and symptoms. It is a widely used scale in the United States and many different countries. In 2009, Negriff et al. The factor structure and usability on adolescents were reassessed and updated. The adaptation of the scale to Turkish was done by Güvenç et al. in 2014. Participants are asked to give a number between 1 (never) and 5 (always) for the symptoms they experience about menstruation. Cronbach's Alpha value is 0.86. It is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 22 items. The score obtained from the sub-dimensions is calculated by taking the total score average of the items in the sub-dimensions. The increase in the mean score for the sub-dimensions indicates that the severity of menstrual symptoms related to that sub-dimension increases.

  change from before implamentation patent and after 2. and 3. month of practice.

• Perceive stress evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS).

  This scale is a self-rating scale developed by Cohen, Kamarck, and Mermelstein (1983). The total score that can be obtained from the scale is 32. A high total score from the scale, which consists of 10 items and scored between 0-4, indicates a high level of stress. In this study, the scale whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Bilge, Öğce, Genç, and Oran (2009) was used.

  change from before implamentation patent and after 2. and 3. month of practice.

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Nursing students with dysmenorrhea in the control group were informed that drawing and listening to music practices would be performed after the initial, second and third month evaluations of the study. In the meantime, it was stated that he should not make any interventions other than her routine applications. At baseline, second, and third month, participants will measure pain, menstrual symptoms, and perceived stress on the first day of the menstrual cycle using the VAS, MSS, and PSS, respectively.

Music Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the second and third months, participants listened to a song that lasted 29 minutes and 32 seconds for four days (three days before menstruation and the first day of menstruation). The song to be played was determined by examining the literature, the song was composed by researcher Juan Sebastian Martin-Saavedra and was named Occasio Adolore (Music Piece No. 5-559-355 and Phonogram No. 12-105-295) by the author copyright institution of Colombia. registered under. While the researcher is composing the song, it is to create a piece of music that will reduce the pain felt, activate positive emotions and relax the person. The composed song is available online within the scope of the published article (https://soundcloud.com/jss-martin/occasio-adolore) \[21\]. Written permission was obtained from Juan Sebastian Martin-Saavedra to use the composed song in the research. The access link of the composed song will be sent to the participants via social media (WhatsApp).

Behavioral: Music

Drawing Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the second and third months, the participants will be asked to paint for 29 minutes and 32 seconds (the duration of the intervention was determined in parallel with the music group in order not to create variability between the groups) for four days (three days before menstruation and the first day of menstruation). The type of paint to be used in the drawn picture (dry pen, crayon or watercolor) is left to the availability of the participants, and it will be stated that they prefer colors and drawings that will raise their emotions, focus their drawings and feed positive emotions in the picture to be drawn. After drawing pictures three days before the menstrual cycle and the first day of menstruation (for a total of four days), pain, menstrual symptoms, and perceived stress on the first day of menstruation will be measured using the VAS, MSS, and PSS, respectively.
