BACKGROUND: Premenstrual disorders (PMDs) significantly affect the daily lives of women. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Mongolian-translated Premenstrual Symptoms Questionnaire (PSQ) among female nursing students at the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2023 to January 2024. The PSQ was translated into Mongolian, and its reliability and validity were assessed. A total of 431 participants completed the translated PSQ along with the Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Scale, Somatic Symptom Scale (SSS-8), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Reliability was evaluated via Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency. Validity was assessed via factor analysis and correlations with external measures. RESULTS: The internal consistency of the Mongolian PSQ was 0. 945. Factor analysis supported the tool's construct validity, which revealed a one-factor structure consistent with that of the original Japanese PSQ. The PSQ had strong positive correlations with the PMDD Scale (r = 0.760), SSS-8 (r = 0.640), PHQ-9 (r = 0.580), and BAI (r = 0.620), which indicated good convergent validity. CONCLUSION: The Mongolian-translated PSQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing premenstrual symptoms in female nursing students. These findings suggest that the PSQ is a useful tool for screening PMDs in this population.
