The purpose of this study is to examine whether breathing mindfulness meditation is an effective treatment for college women with premenstrual syndrome(PMS). Eighteen college women with premenstrual syndrome were divided into either a breathing mindfulness meditation group (n=9) or a control group (n=9). A participant in the treatment condition could not complete the breathing mindfulness meditation program. Pre and Post intervention data were collected by using Premenstrual Assessment Form(PAF). PAF was used for measuring the severity of PMS. The results were as follows. The breathing mindfulness meditation group showed more reduction of symptoms in total score, 2 subs-factors and 15 subs-scales of PAF. But there were no differences between the two groups on scale 9, scale 14 and scale 18 in 18 subs-scales of PAF. These results suggest that breathing mindfulness meditation program is an effective treatment for college women with premenstrual symptom.
