Resumo
Purpose: to compare the performance in tests between
students with and without premenstrual syndrome (PMS),
and between students with PMS in and outside the
premenstrual period.
Methods: the present study had a before-after design (quasi-
experimental), to which 40 control patients without PMS
were added. A total of 40 students from high school and
courses for admission to the University were evaluated using,
a standardized questionnaire. The students were divided,
according to the scores obtained, into three groups: A) PMS
group in the premenstrual period; B) PMS group outside the
premenstrual period; C) control group (no PMS). The marks
obtained in Physics and Math tests by the groups with and
without PMS were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. The
marks of the group PMS in and outside the premenstrual
period were evaluated by the signal test.
Results: of 4438 questionnaires applied, 29 from students
with PMS and 29 from controls were selected. Comparing
the medians of the marks obtained by the students from the
PMS group in and outside the premenstrual period, there
was no significant difference. There was also no significant
difference between the marks of the PMS and control groups.
Also, when the scores were evaluated, there was no difference
in and outside the period, in the PMS group.
Conclusion: PMS was not able to modify significantly the
students’ marks or scores in this study.
