Study summary

This research investigates the effects of web-based sensory awareness training on female students' body movements.

In order to examine its effect on awareness and premenstrual symptom levels. planned. H0a = Body awareness levels of female students who receive and do not receive sensory awareness training. There is no difference between.

H1a = Body awareness levels of female students who receive and do not receive sensory awareness training. There is a difference between .

H0b = Premenstrual symptoms of female students who received and did not receive sensory awareness training. There is no difference between the levels.

H1b = Premenstrual symptoms of female students who receive and do not receive sensory awareness training. There is a difference between the levels.

Participants will be given sensory awareness training for 4 weeks and female students will be given "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale" and "Very" before the training and 4 weeks after the first training.Dimensional Body Awareness Assessment-II Scale" will be applied

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted online via https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/. Female first-year students from the Midwifery Department and the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department of SBÜ Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences who volunteer to participate will be assigned to the intervention group (n=90) and control group (n=90) using random numbers generated via https://www.randomizer.org/ by the researchers. All participants will complete an introductory information form.

Female students in the intervention group will receive sensory awareness training for four weeks. The training content will include presentations on the Sensory System, Proprioception and Kinesthesia, and Interoception. Following the presentations, a protocol focusing on body awareness will be implemented, including graded sensory discrimination, graded motor imagery (GMI), interoception awareness training, interoceptive awareness exercises, and home exercise programs. Each training session will be planned to last 60 minutes.

A pre-training briefing session will be held with the female students assigned to the intervention group who volunteer to participate. The "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale" and the "Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-II Scale" will be administered to the students before the training and four weeks after the first session. Each training session will be conducted once a week and will be limited to 60 minutes. The study forms will be administered to participants in person.

Primary outcomes

  1. Introductory Information Form

    In this form created by researchers based on the literature, It includes questions about the participants' age, high school they graduated from, menstrual period and symptoms. is taking.

    Time frame: 6 week

  2. Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)

    The scale was developed by Gençdoğan in 2006. It consists of 44 items and is designed in a five-point Likert format. The scoring of the scale is as follows: "Never" is scored as 1 point, "Rarely" as 2 points, "Sometimes" as 3 points, "Often" as 4 points, and "Always" as 5 points. The scale includes nine subdimensions:Fatigue ,Depressive Affect,Depressive Thoughts,Anxiety ,Irritability ,Appetite Changes ,Pain ,Sleep Changes ,Bloating.The PMS Scale (PMSÖ) score is obtained by summing the scores of these subdimensions. The scale is administered by asking the individual to respond based on their experience during the week before their menstruation. The total score ranges from a minimum of 44 to a maximum of 220. A higher score indicates more severe premenstrual symptoms.

    Time frame: 6 week

  3. Multidimensional Body Awareness Assessment-II Scale

    Body Awareness has multiple developed by Mehling, Acree, Stewart, Silas and Jones to measure the dimensions of The Turkish adaptation of the scale was made by Mungurlar and Kahya. Scale, 37 It is a self-report scale consisting of one item and eight factors. These factors; "Noticing", "Attention "Not Distracting", "Not Worrying", "Regulating Attention", "Emotional Awareness", "Self-Regulation", "Listening to the Body" and "Trusting". Evaluation of the scale is 1-5 points and is made by averaging the scoring factors separately. of scale Validity reliability Cronbach's alpha coefficient was determined as 0.88. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it means that people have more positive body awareness.

    Time frame: 6 week
