However, despite it's seeming high prevalence, dysmenorrhea remains a neglected topic reflected in the attitude of even trained medical professionals which has a great impact on the general well-being of the nation at large, since the health care providers are majorly responsible for providing adequate health promotion and this becomes a problem when what is communicated, what is received and what is meant to be received are entirely different. This study therefore assessed the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of coping mechanisms among female nursing students in NAUTH, Nnewi, a tertiary medical facility and future health care providers. A cross cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among 180 nursing students in NAUTH who are at different level in the school. A semistructured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 25 of the 180 participants, their mean age was 19.18 +/- 14.16 with a high prevalence of dysmenorrhea which stood at 78%. The result showed good knowledge, poor attitude and poor practice of coping mechanisms for dysmenorrhea while factors like source of information, doctor's negligence and anxiety were influential. The participants reported having a negative effect of the pain on their lifestyle. The curriculum of the nursing school should therefore be structured to elaborate the need for effective practice of coping mechanisms for dysmenorrhea while doctors are encouraged to show a positive attitude towards those who present to them. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Community Medicine project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and perceptions of infertility by male artisans in Nnewi north local government area, Anambra state»Assessment of reported cases of sexual abuse among adolescent during covid-19 pandemic in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi in Anambra state»Assessment of household solid waste management in selected local government areas in Plateau state - a comparison between urban and rural»Awareness of HPV, HPV vaccine and rate of vaccination among female students of school of nursing sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi»Assessment of knowledge, attitude, and practice of coping mechanisms for dysmenorrhea among female nursing students in NAUTH, Nnewi»Prevalence and associated selected factors of respiratory tract infections among under-5 children treated at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Neni - a 5 year review»Prevalence and determinants of pica amongst pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Anambra state»Socio-demographics, pattern of presentation and treatment outcome of breast cancer among female patients in tertiary health institutions in Anambra state: a five-year review»Prevalence of foreign body aspiration among pediatric patients at Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi»Assessing and comparing obesity among primary school children in urban and rural areas of Anambra State»Perception and factors affecting the acceptance of online lectures among medical students in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi»Prostate cancer awareness and screening amongst men aged 40 years and above in Nkwo Nnewi market, Nnewi»Factors associated with the practice of HIV screening among nursing students in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi»Knowledge, attitude and practice of preventive measures against communicable diseases in daycare centers in Nnewi-North LGA Anambra state»Knowledge, acceptance and perception of caesarean section among women of childbearing age at a primary health centre in Neni, Anambra state
