Objective: To explore the effect of self-management education on improving symptoms of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea and the health-related quality of life.
Methods: Female students with primary dysmenorrhea were chosen for the questionnaire in two colleges at Shaoyang. The female students were assigned to an interventional group and a control group. The interventional group (n=195) received self-management education for 6 months, while the control group (n=196) did not receive any intervention. We compared the symptoms scores, VAS, dysmenorrheal degree and health-related quality of life between the 2 groups before and after the intervention.
Results: After the intervention, the scores of symptoms, VAS and degree of dysmenorrhea were significantly lower than the baseline and the control group (P<0.05), and the physical component summary (PCS), mental component summary (MCS) were significantly improved (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Self-management education could effectively improve the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea and quality of life.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from July to November 2023 recruiting from a database of 1520 enrollees aged of 18 and 72-years-old who had been on the scheme for at least three months.
