Intervention
COMPLICATIONS, PMS
At first, the first researcher (a Master of Science midwifery student who worked under the supervision of the research team, i.e., a reproductive health professor and a psychiatrist) trained the six peer educators in person for six 60‐minute sessions (two sessions per week). The educational content included the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system, normal menstruation, related factors to PMS, its complications, and ways to manage it. Also, education about issues such as life skills, problem‐solving, critical thinking, decision‐making skills, creative thinking, and communication was provided. Then, the peer educators and a healthcare provider simultaneously provided their education for the intervention group 1 (30 students in three groups of 10) and intervention group 2 (a group of 30), respectively. In each group of 10, two trained students as peer educators led the sessions. The intervention was held in six 60‐minute sessions twice a week in WhatsApp messenger. The research team developed the content of the education sessions using the available resources. The protocol content as presented in Table The content of training sessions in the intervention groups
