The statistical population of this study consisted of female students of Azad University, South Tehran branch in 2023. A total of 250 people participated using the available sampling method. The research instruments included the Premenstrual Change Coping Questionnaire (PMS-Cope; Kaiser et al., 2018) and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS; Endler & Parker, 1990). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor structure of this questionnaire. The results of criterion validity showed that the premenstrual change coping questionnaire had a positive relationship with problem-oriented coping strategies (P<0.05) and a negative and significant relationship with emotion-oriented and avoidance coping strategies (P<0.05). Also, the results of reliability using the internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and (test-retest reliability) for the Premenstrual Change Coping Questionnaire were 0.82 and (0.78), respectively; also, based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the Premenstrual Change Coping Questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability in the Iranian community and can be used as a research tool in psychological and clinical studies.
