Impact of Lifestyle Educational Session on the Severity of Dysmenorrhea and Premenstrual Syndrome among Nurses Students

Abstract: Dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are prevalent health concerns among young women globally, including in Saudi Arabia, where limited research has explored the impact of educational interventions on lifestyle modification to alleviate symptom severity. This literature review involved 20 studies, findings demonstrating the effectiveness of educational sessions focusing on diet, physical activity, and stress management in reducing dysmenorrhea and PMS symptoms. Cultural, social, and healthcare factors unique to Saudi Arabia may influence both the manifestation of these conditions and the success of lifestyle-based interventions. Smoking, dietary habits, physical inactivity, and sleep patterns have been identified as modifiable risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea and PMS in this population. The review underscores the need for culturally tailored research and targeted educational programs to improve symptom management and quality of life for Saudi women. Addressing these gaps is essential for developing effective healthcare strategies responsive to the sociocultural context of Saudi Arabia. Keywords: Dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), educational interventions, lifestyle modification, educational sessions.
