为年轻女性提供的适当设计的教育计划是否会提高她们对月经疼痛和子宫内膜异位症的认识和基本知识?
在2017年至2019年期间,对19-24岁女性进行了一项跨国横断面研究,以评估月经疼痛和子宫内膜异位症的基本知识。还使用之前完成的单独问卷分析了知识的改进,1-3个月后,小组讨论,关于月经疼痛和子宫内膜异位症的讲座,或者两者兼而有之。
在三组学生中(大学[n=271],医疗[n=877]和护理[n=763]),大学生对月经疼痛和子宫内膜异位症的了解程度最低,护生适度,医学生公平(各P<0.001)。周期性疼痛的经历,即使服用止痛药,报告为15.5%,4.6%和3.8%的学生,分别。大多数学生通过忍受或服用非处方药来管理周期性疼痛。一个有小组讨论的信息教育计划,讲座,或者两者兼而有之,成功地提高了对月经疼痛和子宫内膜异位症的认识和后果。对大学生进行适当的教育和知识传播未能激励他们去看妇科医生;然而,医学生和护理学生对拜访妇科医生非常感兴趣。
教育计划可以提高年轻女性对子宫内膜异位症和痛经的认识和知识。该计划激励护理和医学生,但不是大学生,寻求医学护理以早期发现和治疗子宫内膜异位症。
Would a properly designed educational programme offered to young women improve their awareness and fundamental knowledge of menstrual pain and endometriosis?
A multinational cross-sectional study using a pen-and-paper questionnaire among women aged 19-24 years was conducted between 2017 and 2019 to assess fundamental knowledge of menstrual pain and endometriosis. Improvement in knowledge was also analysed using a separate questionnaire completed before, and 1-3 months after, a group discussion, lecture on menstrual pain and endometriosis, or both.
Among three groups of students (college [n = 271], medical [n = 877] and nursing [n = 763]), knowledge of menstrual pain and endometriosis was lowest among college students, modest among nursing students and fair among medical students (P < 0.001 for each). The experience of cyclical pain, even when painkillers were taken, was reported by 15.5%, 4.6% and 3.8% of students, respectively. Most students managed their cyclical pain by enduring it or by taking over-the-counter medication. An informative education programme with group discussions, lectures, or both, was successful in improving knowledge and consequences of menstrual pain and endometriosis. Proper education and dissemination of knowledge to college students failed to motivate them to visit gynaecologists; however, medical and nursing students became highly interested in visiting gynaecologists.
An educational programme can improve awareness and knowledge of endometriosis and dysmenorrhoea among young women. The programme motivated nursing and medical students, but not college students, to seek medical attention for early detection and management of endometriosis.
