Abstract
- Background. Migraine is unquestionably a serious cause of dysfunction. Objective. To investigate the prevalence and impact of migraine on the health-related quality of life in Greek nursing students. Methods. Cross-sectional study with 140 nursing students in their 3rd or 4th year of studies. The research tools used were the ID Migraine™ questionnaire, the Migraine Assessment Disability questionnaire, the Medical Outcomes Study questionnaire (SF-36) and a demographics and history of headache form. Results. Self-reported migraine was found to be at 43.6%, self-reported migraine with physician-confirmed diagnosis was at 16.4%, and migraine detected by ID Migraine™ was at 48%. The main trigger factors of migraine were not sleeping at night, fasting for many hours and stress. Males showed a lower degree of migraine-related disability and better mental health. Students with a negative ID Migraine™ had a better health-related quality of life. The self-reported social health score of nursing students was much worse compared to standardized reference scores for the general population in Greece. Conclusions. Preventing migraine and improving students' health-related quality of life should involve a variety of interventions such as psychosocial support and health promotion, stress management, as well as healthy sleeping and eating habits.
