Özet:

 Aim: This research was conducted in a descriptive type to determine the coping methods with dysmenorrhea used by women between the ages of 1549. Material and Method: The study population consisted of women aged 1549 residing in a city in the north eastern region of Türkiye. The study sample consisted of 424 women who agreed to participate in the research from November to December 2020. Descriptive Information Form and Dysmenorrhea Affected Scale were used to obtain the study data. The research data was collected through an online interview. Results: The mean age of women was 26.77.5 years. It was determined that 34.7 of the participants consulted a physician due to dysmenorrhea, and irritability, groin pain, and breast tenderness were the most common symptoms accompanying dysmenorrhea. Applying heat to the abdomen, sleeping, and drinking herbal teas were determined as the most common methods used by women to cope with dysmenorrhea. The average score on the scale is 129.6926.82, which is above average. In the case of menstrual pain, there is a statistically significant difference between the use of analgesics and the level of dysmenorrhea p0.001. It was determined that there was a positive, substantial, and low-level relationship between the severity of dysmenorrhea pain and the level of dysmenorrhea affected r0.365; p0.001. Conclusion: More than half of the women participating in the study were found to use medication to cope with dysmenorrhea. The method of applying hot to the abdomen was determined as the most common method used by the women participating in the study in coping with dysmenorrhea. The following can be suggested: Counseling women by health personnel on issues such as the adverse effects of dysmenorrhea and coping methods.
