This study was conducted to determine the attitude and healthcare seeking behaviour towards dysmenorrhea among female students in Mwanza secondary school in Nyamagana district.<br/><br/>Methodology: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling was used to select 286 consenting respondents. Semi structured questionnaires were used to gather concerning knowledge, attitude and healthcare seeking behaviour.<br/><br/>Results: A total number of 286 female adolescents aged 12-21 years were involved in the study. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 69.2%. 58% had low knowledge and 67.8% had negative attitude towards dysmenorrhea. Impacts of dysmenorrhea included poor concentration, absenteeism and lower performance in school. Many,40.8% self-medicate themselves to alleviate menstrual pain, 91.8% were not aware of side effects of those drugs. Findings also showed significant association between attitude and healthcare seeking behaviour.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Findings from this study highlight the need for information, education, healthcare awareness combined with clinical management to be core elements of reproductive health programs towards dysmenorrhea in the society. <br/> |
