ÖZET
 Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, üniversite eğitimine başlayan kadınların dismenore semptomlarının hafifletilmesinde ve öz bakım becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde tercih ettikleri geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemlerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma 4 Nisan 2020-1 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında primer dismenore yaşayan 330 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. İstanbul ilinde bir vakıf üniversitesinde eğitim gören öğrencilerle gerçekleşen çalışmamızın örneklemini 18-34 yaş arası primer dismenoresi olan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 330 öğrenci oluşturdu. Otuz altı soruluk anket formu kullanıldı. Anket formunda sosyodemografik özellikler (5 soru), menstrüel siklus ve dismenoreye ilişkin bireysel özellikler (22 soru), dismenoreyle baş etmede kullandıkları geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemlerine yönelik sorular (9 soru) kullanıldı. Dismenore şiddetini ölçmek için Görsel Kıyaslama Ölçeği'nden faydalanıldı. Veri analizinde Fisher-FreemanHalton test ve tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden yararlanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 330 öğrencinin %93'ü 18-24 yaş aralığındadır. Öğrencilerin %46,3'ünün orta şiddetli dismenore yaşadıkları, %43,7'sinin ise şiddetli dismenore yaşadıkları belirlendi. Araştırmada %57'sinin geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemlerine kısmen de olsa inandıkları belirlendi. En çok tercih edilen geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tedavi yöntemleri %37 bitki çayı içmek, %32 masaj yapmak ve %22,4 sıcak uygulama yapmak olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin hayatını olumsuz etkileyen dismenore ile baş etmede kullanılan yöntemler değişkendir. Geleneksel yöntemlere başvuran katılımcıların oranı oldukça yüksektir. Kanıta dayalı yöntemlerin kullanımının sağlanabilmesi ve oluşabilecek hataların önüne geçilmesi için sağlık profesyonellerinin araştırmalar yapması desteklenmelidir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the traditional and complementary treatment methods preferred by women who have started university education in alleviating dysmenorrhea symptoms and improving their self-care skills. Material and Methods: The research was carried out with 330 students who experienced primary dysmenorrhea between April 4, 2020 and January 1, 2021. The sample of our study, which was carried out with students studying at a foundation university in İstanbul, consisted of 330 students aged 18- 34 who had primary dysmenorrhea and agreed to participate in the study. A 36-question questionnaire was used. In the questionnaire form, socio-demographic characteristics (5 questions), individual characteristics related to menstrual cycle and dysmenorrhea (22 questions), questions about traditional and complementary treatment methods used in coping with dysmenorrhea (9 questions) were used. Visual comparison scale was used to measure the severity of dysmenorrhea. Fisher-Freeman-Halton test and descriptive statistics were used in data analysis. Results: 93% of the 330 students who participated in the study were between the ages of 18-24. It was determined that 46.3% of the students experienced moderate dysmenorrhea and 43.7% experienced severe dysmenorrhea. In the study, it was determined that 57% of them partially believed in traditional and complementary treatment methods. The most preferred traditional and complementary treatment methods in coping with dysmenorrhea were determined as drinking herbal tea 37%, massaging 32% and applying hot application 22.4%. Conclusion: The methods used to cope with dysmenorrhea, which negatively affects students' lives, are variable. The proportion of participants who resort to traditional methods is quite high. In order to ensure the use of evidence-based methods and to prevent possible errors, health professionals should be supported to conduct research.
