Abstract :

 The menstrual cycle is the regular natural change that occurs in the female reproductive system. Menstrual distress refers to the types and the intensity of symptoms women experience during each phase of the menstrual cycle. Well-being or wellness is a general term for the condition of an individual or group, for example their social, economic, psychological, spiritual or medical state. A high level of well-being means in some sense the individual or group‘s condition is positive, while low well-being is associated with negative happenings. The present investigation aims to study the relationship between menstrual distress and wellbeing among women in 2 age groups- 20 to 25 years and 40- 45 years and comparison between these 2 groups on menstrual distress and well being. For the above mentioned purpose a sample of 100 females, divided into two groups was taken from Chandigarh. One group consisted of 50 females in menstrual cycle phase (age range 20-25 years) and the other group consisted of 50 females with menstrual cycle (age range 40-45 years). For this purpose, Menstrual distress questionnaire (MOOS, 2016) and Psychological general wellbeing Index (Martin, 2004) were administered to the sample. Correlation analysis and t-ratio were used for the statistical analysis. Differences were found among the two groups. The results will be discussed as per the implications.

AIM: To study the relationship between menstrual distress and wellbeing among women in 2 age groups- 20 to 25 years and 40- 45 years and comparison between these 2 groups on menstrual distress and well being.
