Materijali i metode: U ovom radu napravljeno je transverzalno istraživanje među studenticama četiri studijska programa Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu: medicina na engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku, dentalna medicina i... More farmacija. Sve studentice upisane na bilo koji od navedenih studija bile su prihvatljive kao sudionici ovog ispitivanja. Upitnici su poslani studenticama svih akademskih godina (1 - 6 za medicinu i dentalnu medicinu, a 1 - 5 za studij farmacije), u online verziji stvorenoj u Google dokumentima u razdoblju od tri mjeseca, od travnja do lipnja 2020. Sudjelovanje je bilo dobrovoljno, anonimno i bez naknade. U ovom istraživanju sudjelovale su ukupno 273 studentice, od 858 upisanih na Medicinski fakultet Sveučilišta u Splitu. Rezultati: Srednja dob sudionica iznosila je 22.8 (SD ± 2,1), minimum 18, a najviše 30. Studentice prve godine imale su u prosjeku 19 godina, studenti druge godine 20, studenti treće godine 21, studenti četvrte godine 22, pete 23 i šeste 24 godine. Oko 98% studentica navelo je da ima neki od simptoma povezanih s menstruacijom (problem ocijenjeno >2 na ljestvici). Najčešći simptom bila je bol, a najmanje čest povraćanje. Za probleme koji su se javljali često ili uvijek oko 58% studentica navelo je bol, 11% mučninu, 2% povraćanje, 56% nadutost, 16% refluks, 54% promjenu apetita, 29% glavobolju, 12.2% vrtoglavicu i 45% bol u donjem dijelu leđa. Najčešće korišteni lijekovi među studentima svih studija bili su nesteoridni protuuplani lijekovi, NSAIL (60,4%) i to ibuprofen kao najčešći izbor. Deset posto studentica uzimalo je kombinaciju lijekova, a 20.7% nije navelo lijekove ili su izjavili da nisu uzimali nikakve lijekove za menstrualnu bol. Studentice prve godine svih studija najčešće koriste NSAIL, kao i studentice treće, četvrte i pete godine. Studentice druge godine u najvećem postotku su uzimale oralne kontracepcijske pilule. Primjena NSAIL-ova povećala se s godinama studija. Kombinacije lijekova uglavnom su koristile studentice 6. godine. Zaključak: Ovo istraživanje potvrdilo je da je dismenoreja značajni problem među studenticama. Najčešće korištene strategije upravljanja uključuju korištenje nesteroidnih protuupalnih lijekova, uglavnom Ibuprofena. Less
