Women's coping behaviors with premenstrual syndrome symptoms can be affected by various factors. Among these factors, the meaning and purpose of life is an important health factor associated with reducing many negative health outcomes. This study was conducted to examine the life purpose and meaning-making tendencies of women with premenstrual syndrome. The sample of this descriptive-correlational study consisted of 384 participants. The study was conducted in March-September 2021 within a province located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. The data were collected by using the Descriptive Questionnaire, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale, and the Meaning and Purpose of Life Scale. The mean Premenstrual Syndrome Scale scores of the participants were determined as 135.02±25.02 and the mean Scale of Meaning and Purpose of Life was 46.77±7.40. The effect of the meaning and purpose of life was found to be effective on decrease of premenstrual syndrome (p<0.001). The total meaning and purpose of life score explained 21.9% of the total variance in the dependent variable of premenstrual syndrome. In order to make the lives of women diagnosed with premenstrual syndrome more meaningful, it is recommended to organize multi-sectoral collaborative programs in which women's health nurses take an active role.

Kadınların premenstrual sendrom semptomları ile baş etme davranışları çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenebilmektedir. Bu faktörler arasında yaşamın anlamı ve amacı, birçok olumsuz sağlık sonucunun azaltılmasıyla ilişkili önemli bir sağlık değişkenidir. Bu araştırma, premenstrual sendromu olan kadınların yaşamın amacı ve anlam oluşturma eğilimlerini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel bu çalışmanın örneklemini 384 katılımcı oluşturdu. Çalışma, Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nde yer alan bir ilde, Mart-Eylül 2021 tarihlerinde gerçekleştirildi. Veriler Tanımlayıcı Anket, Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği ve Yaşamın Anlamı ve Amacı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Katılımcıların Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği puan ortalaması 135.02±25.02, Yaşamın Anlamı ve Amacı Ölçeği puan ortalaması 46.77±7.40’dır. Yaşamın anlamı ve amacının premenstrual sendromun azalmasında etkili olduğu bulundu (p<0.001). Yaşamın anlamı ve amacı toplam puanı premenstrual sendromun bağımlı değişkenindeki toplam varyansın %21.9'unu açıklamaktadır. Premenstrual sendrom tanısı alan kadınların hayatlarını daha anlamlı kılmak için aralarında kadın sağlığı hemşirelerin de aktif rol aldığı multisektörel işbirliğine dayalı programların düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.
