BACKGROUND: Climate change is a significant threat to global health. While its psychological impacts are documented, research exploring the link between climate change anxiety and premenstrual disorders is scarce.
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between climate change anxiety and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) severity among young women.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1035 young women (mean age: 20.83 ± 1.76) in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS) and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and linear regression.
RESULTS: PMS prevalence was 60.8%. A significant positive correlation was found between total CCAS and PMSS scores (r = 0.188, p < 0.001). Higher levels of overall climate change anxiety were significantly correlated with increased PMS severity (r = 0.188, p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that climate change anxiety is significantly associated with PMS symptoms, explaining 3.5% of the variance (R2 = 0.035, p < 0.001). Age and menstruation-related daily life interference were also associated with higher climate anxiety.
CONCLUSION: Climate change anxiety acts as a modern psychosomatic stressor contributing to premenstrual symptoms. Healthcare professionals should adopt holistic approaches, considering environmental distress a potential factor in menstrual health management for young populations.
