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.

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.
