Mr. Yoshiaki Kanamori, RN, MHS in Department of psychiatric nursing
Yoshiaki and co-researchers examined the association between expanded Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and menstruation-related symptoms in 2,000 Japanese female workers.
Women with two or more ACEs significantly showed severe premenstrual menstrual symptoms. Four or more ACEs were associated with PMDD. Childhood poverty and school bullying were also associated with menstruation-related symptoms severity, and natural disasters with PMDD.
The results suggested the importance of trauma-informed care in gynecology, obstetrics, and occupational health practice.
