Background: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a combination of physical, neurological, and psychological disorders and negatively effects social adjustment, interpersonal relationships, normal activities, and quality of Life (QOL). Physical activity is an effective method of controlling the symptoms of PMS. Given the importance of the participation of the spouse in the promotion of reproductive health and women's health, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational intervention for the spouse on physical activity among women with PMS.Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed in 2015. The study subjects were 100 couples of reproductive age referring to health centers of Falavarjan, Iran. The participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The subjects in the experimental group received training on the impact of physical activity on controlling PMS symptoms. Data were collected using the Premenstrual Syndrome Assessment (PSA) and Saba Questionnaire before and 3 months after the intervention and were analyzed in SPSS software.Findings: After the intervention, a significant increase was observed in the physical activity of women in the experimental group (P < 0.001). However, BMI did not decrease significantly compared to before the intervention and the control group. The physical and psychological-behavioral symptoms of PMS in the experimental group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.050).Conclusion: It can be concluded that the spouses had acted well as an educational agent and encouraged women to perform physical activities, and thus, reduce the symptoms of PMS. It is recommended that educational sessions be implemented by the health care system for men to encourage women to exercise.
