Early or limited evidence 46 first-year nursing students in Delhi ## What they did 46 first-year nursing students at one college in Delhi were taught a structured program about premenstrual syndrome and coping strategies. They completed a knowledge test before and after the teaching, from 30 May to 4 June 2022. ## What they found Before the program: 6.52% had good knowledge, 86.95% had average knowledge, 6.52% had poor knowledge. After: 45.65% had good knowledge, 52.17% had average knowledge, 2.17% had poor knowledge.
