AB  - PURPOSE: This study investigated the association between menstrual symptoms and 
      the intention to leave work among female nurses in Japan. METHODS: This 
      cross-sectional study investigated female nurses (n = 317) at two university 
      hospitals. The items measured were their characteristics (e.g., age, body mass 
      index), "intention to leave" work, somatic symptoms related with menstruation, 
      self-reported menstrual characteristics (e.g., pain), physical workloads (e.g., 
      working hours and night shifts) and psychological workloads, measured with the 
      Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). 
      Participants with at least four somatic symptoms (e.g., cold, fatigue) which are 
      present during their menstrual cycles were considered to have "somatic symptoms 
      associated with menstruation." We also measured serum ovarian and 
      gonadotropin-releasing hormones. RESULTS: Approximately 40% of women answered 
      "intention to leave" work, and 17% had "somatic symptoms associated with 
      menstruation." Multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that nurses 
      reporting "somatic symptoms associated with menstruation" were more likely to 
      have "intention to leave" work: the adjusted odds ratios (AOR, 95% confidence 
      interval [CI]) were 2.15 (1.12-4.11) in the personal-burnout model, 2.23 
      (1.16-4.31) in the work-related burnout model, 2.91 (1.52-5.56) in the 
      client-related burnout model; 2.96 (1.50-5.82) in the JCQ model. There was no 
      association between serum and gonadotropin hormones and the intention to leave. 
      CONCLUSION: Somatic symptoms with menstruation were associated with intention to 
      leave work among female Japanese nurses. Intervention for somatic symptoms with 
      menstruation might support nurses to continue work.
