Abstract

This study investigated the influence of attitude, preparation, and physical self concept on the emotional expectations of menarche among premenarcheal school girls. For the study, 97 premenarcheal school girls were randomly selected from grades of three to seven at YewketFana primary school. Questionnaire on menstrual attitudes, physical self concept, and menarcheal preparation were adapted and distributed among the sample participants. Correlation and regression analysis were used to know the influence of attitude, preparation and physical self concept on emotional expectation of menarche. Results showed that, though premenarcheal school girls prepared themselves by getting the menstrual information mainly from their mother, it was found inadequate. Majority of the premenarcheal school girls had negative emotional expectations of their menarche, and also influenced by different variables. Findings of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that menstrual attitude, physical self concept, and menarcheal preparation were factors influencing emotional expectations of menarche among premenarcheal school girls in YewketFanaPrimry School.
