Abstract:
Background: Girls need special care regarding menstrual hygiene because of early pubertal development
and related problems. The researchers aimed to explore the knowledge about the role of the motherdaughter
relationship in menstrual hygiene among young teens.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted (February-April ۲۰۲۰) among ۱۹۰ elderly young teenage
girls in middle schools who lived in Bukan, North-West of Iran. Data about demographic characteristics,
menstrual information, knowledge of menstrual hygiene management, the practice of menstrual hygiene,
the premenstrual symptom screening tool, visual analog scale for pain, and parent-child relationship survey
were collected by a questionnaire using a multistage random sampling method. Finally, the obtained data
were analyzed using SPSS (version ۲۵) through descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results: The most common severe signs and symptoms were anger/irritability (۲۱.۶%), fatigue/lack of
energy (۱۹.۵%), and decreased interest in household activities (۱۷.۹%). A sense of shame was reported
more among girls who have moderate relationships with their mothers (P = ۰.۰۱۱), and a significant
relationship was found between mothers’ low literacy and the severity of premenstrual symptoms in their
daughters (P = ۰.۰۳۶).
Conclusion: Mothers play a crucial role in their daughters’ lives, which can buffer stressors and relieve
anxiety, especially during the experiencing of menarche and during the menstruation period, indicating
familial support to overcome the puberty-related crisis.
