Materials and Methods: As a cross-sectional study, it targeted a sample of 150 men from Urmia. To gather data, awareness and performance questionnaire (Morowati Sharifabad, 2013) and a researcher-made attitude questionnaire were employed. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 19.0. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data.

Results: Twenty-two percent of the wives of the surveyed men had PMS and during the premenstrual stage, they had experienced most of the emotional symptoms (84%) and fluid retention (60.7%). The mean scores of awareness, attitude, and performance of men regarding PMS were 24.2 ± 4.45, 23.93 ± 5.35, and 43.10 ± 5.23, respectively. Men whose partners had PMS recorded a higher awareness and performance scores while getting lower than average scores regarding attitude. Thus, the difference in attitude between the 2 groups was statistically significant (P = 0.04). Besides, there was a significant relationship among awareness, attitude and the performance of men compared to each other (P < 0.001).

Conclusions: Men with wives who had PMS recorded a higher awareness and performance scores while they got lower than average scores regarding attitude in comparison with the ones whose wives did not suffer from PMS. In addition, there was a significant relationship between and among awareness, attitude, and performance of men concerning PMS of their wives.
