Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Research Hypotheses:
H01: Mandala activity is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms.
H02: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms.
H13: Mandala activity is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms.
H14: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms.
H15: Mandala activity is more effective than education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome in reducing premenstrual symptoms among students with PMS.
Research Groups: Mandala Group, Coping with Premenstrual Symptoms Education Group, and Control Group.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The research is planned as a pre-test post-test control group design with a randomized controlled semi-experimental approach, aiming to determine the impact of education on coping with premenstrual syndrome and Mandala activity on premenstrual symptoms

mandala
Mandala Group
The Mandala activity lasts approximately 60 minutes.
• A calm environment is provided during the Mandala activity, and participants are ensured not to be disturbed by external stimuli or individuals unless they request assistance.
Each student's last menstrual date is recorded in an Excel table.
* Two days before the intervention day, students will be contacted and invited to participate in the study.
* Monitoring each student's menstrual cycle, the Mandala activity intervention is scheduled during the late luteal phase of each student's menstrual cycle. The intervention is planned within the 5 days before the expected start of menstrual bleeding on days and hours convenient for the student's class schedule.
* After each session, on the 4th day of the expected menstrual bleeding, students are subjected to PMSÖ.
* On the 4th day of the 4th menstrual period bleeding, the research will be concluded by applying the post-test with PMSÖ to the students."

Coping with Premenstrual Symptoms Education Group
The education will be conducted through face-to-face interviews in the master's course classroom at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University. The education was conducted using PowerPoint presentations projected onto a white smartboard.
* One month after the completion of the education, a 1st Reminder training will be provided in the master's course classroom within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, using the face-to-face interview method.
* One month after the 1st Reminder training, a 2nd Reminder training will be provided in the master's course classroom within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, using the face-to-face interview method.
* On the 4th day of the 4th menstrual period bleeding, the research will be concluded by applying the post-test with PMSÖ to the students.
Control Group
Control Group
No intervention will be applied to the control group throughout the research. However, students in this group who cope with premenstrual syndrome using medication or non-medication methods will be monitored during the three-month menstrual cycle.
Each student's menstrual cycle in the control group has been recorded in the Excel table. The estimated end of menstruation for each student has been noted.
* At the estimated end of menstruation, the researcher contacts the students in the control group to inquire whether they have used any medication or non-medication methods to cope with premenstrual syndrome.
* Those who use medication or non-medication methods to reduce premenstrual symptoms are excluded from the study.
* On the 4th day of the 4th menstrual period bleeding, the post-test with PMSÖ will be applied to the students."
