Non-randomised trial, 2023
Can module-based education increase adolescent girls' confidence in managing premenstrual syndrome?
Yes. After receiving module-based education, most girls moved from poor knowledge to adequate or good knowledge about premenstrual syndrome.
What they did
Quasi-experimental study of 60 adolescent girls who received module-based education about premenstrual syndrome. Knowledge and self-efficacy were measured before and after.
What they found
Before education, 93.3% had poor knowledge. After education, 81.7% had adequate knowledge and 18.3% had good knowledge. This improvement was statistically significant (p=0.00).
What it means for you
Module-based education effectively increased knowledge and confidence about premenstrual syndrome in adolescent girls. A main limitation is this was a small study with no control group, so we cannot be certain the modules caused the improvement.
