title: Premenstrual syndrome: family impact and nursing implications.
abstract: Premenstrual syndrome is a growing concern for health-care providers. The physical, psychologic, and behavioral manifestations of the syndrome may impair interpersonal relationships and family functioning. Premenstrual syndrome should be regarded not only from the woman's perspective but with respect to the entire family. Nursing intervention should be geared toward assisting the entire family system.
