Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Premenstrual Syndrome significantly affects young women\'s quality of life, encompassing psychological and clinical symptoms. The aim of this study is to develop a comprehensive and reliable Premenstrual Syndrome Quality of Life Scale and identify factors that affect women\'s quality of life.
METHODS: A methodological and descriptive study was conducted to develop a Premenstrual Syndrome Quality of Life Scale in three phases. Initially, a literature review and qualitative interviews were conducted to generate an item pool. In the second phase, the validity and reliability of the scale were tested. Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis were used to confirm the validity and Cronbach\'s Alpha coefficient was calculated for reliability. In the final phase, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated.
RESULTS: A 28-item scale was developed in phase one. In Phase two 260 women were participated. Factor analysis confirmed the scale\'s validity with a KMO measure of 0.837 and significant Bartlett\'s Sphericity Test (p < 0.000). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the scale. Reliability analysis showed high reliability for the overall scale and subscales. Phase three included 212 participants diagnosed with premenstrual syndrome. There are no significant correlations between age, menarche age, and overall PMS Quality-of-Life scores. However, higher PMS severity and urban living negatively impact quality of life (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The Premenstrual Syndrome Quality of Life Scale provides a holistic assessment of premenstrual syndrome impact on women\'s lives, addressing physical, emotional, and social dimensions.

摘要：
背景：经前综合征显著影响年轻女性的生活质量，包括心理和临床症状。本研究的目的是建立一个全面可靠的经前综合征生活质量量表，并确定影响女性生活质量的因素。
方法：进行了方法学和描述性研究，分三个阶段开发了经前综合征生活质量量表。最初，进行了文献综述和定性访谈以生成项目库.在第二阶段,对量表的效度和信度进行检验。探索性因素分析，验证性因子分析用于确认效度，Cronbach的Alpha系数用于计算信度。在最后阶段,对量表的心理测量特性进行了评估。
结果：第一阶段制定了28项量表。在第二阶段，有260名妇女参加。因子分析证实了量表的有效性，KMO测量值为0.837，Bartlett的球形检验显著(p<0.000)。验证性因素分析表明该量表具有良好的适用性。可靠性分析显示，总体量表和子量表具有很高的可靠性。第三阶段包括212名被诊断患有经前综合征的参与者。年龄之间没有显著的相关性,初潮年龄,和总体PMS生活质量评分。然而,更高的PMS严重程度和城市生活对生活质量产生负面影响(p<0.05)。
结论：经前期综合征生活质量量表提供了经前期综合征对女性生活影响的整体评估，寻址物理，情感,和社会维度。
