Premenstrual Syndrome, Psychometric, Quality of Life, Tool Design, (PMS-QOLQ)Abstract
Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is one of the most common disorders and challenges in women lives that can affect their quality of life. Therefore, the present study was conducted to design and psychometrically evaluate a specific tool for measuring the quality of life of women with premenstrual syndrome. Methods: This is a combined exploratory study of tool design. This study in two phases (qualitative and tool psychometric evaluation) was conducted in 2017- 2018 in Tehran. In the first phase, a qualitative content analysis with a contractual approach was carried out by in-depth and semi-structured individual interviews with 21 women affected by premenstrual syndrome. Then, the pool of items extracted from the qualitative stage was completed by reviewing the existing texts and tools. The second phase of the study involved reducing the overlapped items and validating the tools. In order to investigate the construct validity, a cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 440 women with premenstrual syndrome.
