女性護理人員因痛經引發身體不適，進而影響工作品質問題至今仍未獲得解決。本研究目的在探討影響女性護理人員痛經之因子以及與使用各種緩解痛經策略之情形。於2016年1～2月期間對南部某區域教學醫院女性護理人員進行橫斷式問卷訪談，完成有效樣本460位。資料分析以單變項及多變項羅吉斯迴歸等分析影響痛經之因子以及處理痛經情形等。受訪者平均年齡31.2歲、教育程度以大學為主（66.8%）、未婚（68.0%）及無子女（73.0%）者多，65.3%受試者曾有過痛經情形。多變項羅吉斯迴歸分析影響痛經的獨立顯著因子為大學學歷與罹患1種或3種慢性疾病者。護理人員痛經發生時有91.2%會嘗試各種緩解方法，86.8%使用精油緩解痛經者（53人）認為有效，最常使用的是高地薰衣草精油（12.0%）。本研究結果顯示女性護理人員痛經情形相當普遍，尤其是高學歷及有罹患疾病者更為嚴重。使用芳香精油能有效減緩痛經，女性護理人員可多瞭解芳香精油知識作為減輕痛經症狀及舒緩工作壓力之另一選擇。

The discomfort caused by dysmenorrhea in female nursing staff can affect work performance and remains unresolved to date. This study explores the factors associated with dysmenorrhea in female nursing staff and the use of effective strategies to relieve menstrual cramps. A cross-sectional questionnaire was designed to survey female nursing staff at a regional teaching hospital in southern Taiwan during January to February 2016. A total of 460 valid questionnaires were collected as a result. The factors associated with dysmenorrhea and the use of strategies in relieving dysmenorrheal symptoms were investigated by applying the univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. The median age of the respondents is 31.2 years old, educational level is predominantly university graduates (66.8%), a lot of them were unmarried (68.0%), and most of them had no children (73.0%). Overall, 65.3% of them had experiencing dysmenorrhea. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that university graduates and patient s suffering from one or three chronic diseases were independent and significant factors associated with dysmenorrhea. A total of 91.2% of the nurses would seek ways to relieve dysmenorrhea when it happens. Moreover, 86.8% of them used essential oils (a total of 53 people) indicated that it was effective for pain relieve during menstruation and Lavandula angustifolia (12.0% of total) was the most frequently applied. In conclusion, dysmenorrhea is common among female nursing staff, and in particular, those with a higher educational level as well as those with chronic diseases. The use of essential oils can effectively alleviate dysmenorrhea. Nurses can learn more about the use of essential oils as a possible option for managing their dysmenorrheal symptoms and improve their ability to cope with work stress.
