Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of hypnotherapy on improving pain degree,pain catastrophizing,pain self efficacy,coping styles of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea, and to provide the theoretical support for psychological intervention.
Methods:Fifty six female college students with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly divided into experimental group( n =28) and control group( n =28).Samples in the experimental group received 10 session structured hypnotherapy, while the control group received no intervention (the control group could receive the intervention when the intervention was proved to be effective) .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,was proved to be effective .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ）in the pretest，protest and tracking test.
Results:The time effect，group effect and time group interaction on the NRS,PCS,PSEQ scores of the two groups of female college students were all statistically significant ( F =12.83，21.77，13.65； 22.96，28.98，24.84；25.35，18.26，27.02， P < 0.01 ).Immediately after the intervention and 3 months after the intervention，the scores of SCSQ positive coping dimension of the experimental group（1.43±0.35，1.50±0.39）were significantly higher than those of the control group（1.22±0.19，1.20±0.21），and the scores of SCSQ negative coping dimension of the experimental group（1.59±0.38，1.52±0.49）were significantly lower than those of the control group（1.80±0.17，1.80±0.20）, the differences were all statistically significant ( P <0.05);There were statistical differences among time effect，group effect and timegroup interaction on the positive coping and negative coping scores of SCSQ ( F = 15.14 ， 4.29 ， 14.37 ；7.66，4.10，6.95， P <0.05).
Conclusion:Hypnotherapy intervention for female college students with primary dysmenorrhea can effectively alleviate pain degree，and improve the pain catastrophizing and coping styles,enhance their pain self efficacy. The hypnotherapy also shows long term effects.
