Use your device to scan and read the article online Objective the low sleep quality and pain in girls with primary dysmenorrhea, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-compassion training and positive attitude to experience sleep quality and decrease of pain intensity in girls with primary dysmenorrhea.Methods The research was semi-experienced that was conducted as a multi-group, pre-test, and posttest.The sample of the study was girls with primary dysmenorrhea, which were characterized among students in the first district of Rasht City (first and second high school) and were placed in three experimental and control groups.To collect the data and to screen the questionnaire for premenstrual symptoms, Peters Burg's sleep quality questionnaire, and McGill's intensity of pain questionnaire were applied.A one-way Analysis Of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used for analyzing data. ResultsPositive thinking training and self-compassion training were effective in increasing sleep quality and decreased intensity of pain in girls with primary dysmenorrhea (P<0.001).The effect of positive thinking on quality of life was more than compassion training (P<0.005),but self-compassion does not affect pain severity.Conclusion Findings indicate the impact of training and self-compassion in preventing the neuropsychological well-being of girls with primary dysmenorrhea.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
