Abstract
Menstrual education is an important part of adolescent health education, but it is generally lagging behind in primary schools in my country. This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design and conducted a questionnaire survey on 800 respondents (primary school students in grades 5-6, junior high school students in grades 1 and parents) from 15 schools in a certain city to evaluate the current situation and needs of menstrual education in the upper grades of primary schools. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to cover five dimensions, including knowledge understanding, educational needs, and troubled experiences. The questionnaire had good reliability (Cronbach's α=0.847). The results showed that only 26.8% of the respondents had a good grasp of menstrual knowledge, 48.0% believed that the current school education was insufficient, 75.4% supported the establishment of a special menstrual education course in the upper grades of primary schools, 72.9% suggested that it should be implemented in grades 5-6 of primary schools, and 63.6% had been troubled by insufficient knowledge. The study showed that the current popularization rate of menstrual knowledge in the upper grades of primary schools is low, there are significant deficiencies in school education, and there is an urgent need to open a special course. It is recommended to systematically carry out menstrual education in grades 5-6 of primary school, establish a multi-dimensional curriculum system, adopt diversified teaching methods, strengthen teacher training, and create an open and inclusive educational atmosphere.
