Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma menstrüel dönemde COVID-19 pozitif olan kadınların yaşadıkları semptomları belirlemek ve COVID-19 pozitif olmayan kadınlarla karşılaştırılmasını yapmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklem büyüklüğü güç analizine göre; COVID-19 pozitif olan vaka grubunda 69 kadın ve COVID-19 olmayan kontrol grubunda 200 kadın olarak belirlendi. Araştırma Mart- Mayıs 2022 tarihlerinde, Malatya İl Sağlık Müdürlüğüne bağlı Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verilerini toplamak için “Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Anketi” ve “Günlük Adet Semptomları Değerlendirme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Ümitsizlik, depresyon, aktivite yetersizliği, içe kapanma, gerginlik, kolay öfkelenme, tartışmaya yatkınlık, karında şişkinlik, yüz/el-ayak bileklerinde şişkinlik, kalça-karında ağrı, sırt ağrısı, yorgunluk, memede şişlik-hassasiyet ve baş ağrısı semptomları puan ortalamaları açısından vaka ve kontrol grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). COVID-19 pozitif olan kadınların bu semptomları, pozitif olmayan kadınlara göre daha yoğun yaşadıkları belirlendi.
Sonuç: Adet döneminde COVID-19 pozitif olan kadınlarda günlük menstrüasyon belirtilerinin yoğunluğu COVID-19 olmayan kadınlara göre daha fazladır. Pandemi gibi zorlu süreçlerde; halk sağlığı hemşiresi tarafından kadınların sağlık durumlarının takip edilmesi ve mensturasyon dönemi semptomlarıyla başa çıkma sistemlerinin desteklenmesi önerilir.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the symptoms experienced by women who were COVID-19 positive during menstruation and to compare them with women who were not COVID-19 positive.
Methods: According to the power analysis, the sample size of the study was determined as 69 women in the COVID-19 positive case group and 200 women in the control group without COVID-19. The study was conducted between March and May 2022 in Family Health Centers affiliated to Malatya Provincial Health Directorate. "Descriptive Characteristics Questionnaire" and "Daily Menstrual Symptoms Assessment Scale" were used to collect the data of the study.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the case and control groups in terms of mean scores of hopelessness, depression, lack of activity, introversion, tension, easy anger, tendency to argue, abdominal distension, facial/ankle/wrist distension, hip/abdominal pain, back pain, fatigue, breast swelling-sensitivity and headache symptoms (p<0.05). It was determined that women who were COVID-19 positive experienced these symptoms more intensely than women who were not positive.
Conclusion: The intensity of daily menstrual symptoms is higher in women who are COVID-19 positive during menstruation than in women without COVID-19. In challenging times such as a pandemic, it is recommended that public health nurses monitor women's health status and support their systems to cope with menstrual symptoms.
