摘要:

College women were asked a series of open-ended questions about their conceptions of menstruation prior to menarche as part of a retrospective study. Their responses were rated as indicating correct information, misinformation, or lack of information. A conceptual analysis of these descriptive data reveals some of the emotional and cognitive limitations of pre-adolescence that lead ostensibly well-informed girls to harbor misconceptions about menstruation. Based on this conceptual analysis, a revised approach to menstrual education is suggested.

摘要:

This study reports the results of a content analysis of three "established" and three "new" popular women's magazines. A sample of 203 articles/features on women's health topics was drawn from a stratified systematic random sample of 157 issues over a ten year period. The two types of magazines were compared for amount of coverage given to women's health issues and specific health-related themes. Health themes covered in the magazines were also compared with statistical data on serious health conditions experienced by women, and leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Established magazines were found to give more overall coverage to women's health than did the new magazines; particularly focusing on diet and exercise. However, little attention was given to the serious health problems women actually experience. Implications of results are discussed and directions for future research outlined.

摘要:

Mikvah is a practice in Judaism consisting of ritual bathing that occurs at the end of the menstrual period. This study compared 161 married Jewish women, 82 mikvah users, and 79 nonusers in order to learn how this ritual affects attitudes towards menstruation and the perception of menstrual and premenstrual distress. Women participating in mikvah, a ritual that defines them as "unclean," were expected to have more negative conceptions of menstrual cycle symptomatology and more positive menstrual attitudes than women in the same culture not participating in this ritual. These hypotheses were not supported by the findings. What was found was a similarity between the two groups in attitudes towards menstruation, frequency and type of symptoms surrounding the menstrual period, and the degree to which any of these symptoms were experienced

摘要:

Many women are traumatized by pelvic exanimations, resulting in reactions ranging from mild anxiety and embarrassment to avoiding the exam altogether. Studies which surveyed how women feel about pelvic exams are discussed and analyzed as are projects utilizing the educational pelvic exam approach. The concept of psychological preparation for pelvic exams is presented incorporating the importance of personal control. The main theme is the proposal that preparation for pelvic exams should be tailored to each individual patient. The role of the examiner is also discussed, stressing physician education and sexual conflicts involved in the performance of pelvic exams.

摘要:

Questions are frequently raised about possible impairment of cognitive function in the premenstrual phase of the menstrual cycle. There is also concern that women may be at a disadvantage premenstrually on important occasions such as examinations. This study compared the marks on final-year psychology degree examinations in the premenstrual phase with those of the rest of the cycle. All of the 26 women students who were eligible to participate did so. Comparisons, within and between individuals, of Premenstrual and Nonpremenstrual marks, gave no indication of significant fluctuations with the cycle. Pre-examination arousal and anxiety, which were similar to the relevant published norms, did not appear to be related to the examination marks. There were no significant differences between students taking or not taking oral contraceptives. If there are any physiological and/or social-psychological effects of the cycle on high-level cognitive functioning these are presumably compensated for by the students in this situation. These findings suggest that women taking final degree examinations are not at a disadvantage during the premenstrual phase of the cycle.
