“…Durante o climatério, que pode ser caracterizado como um estágio natural da vida, ou seja, um ciclo biológico e não patológico que engloba variadas mudanças e transições do período reprodutivo para o não reprodutivo. Com o fim dos ciclos ovulatórios durante esta fase de vida, ocorre a queda da produção de estrogênio e progesterona, que irão acometer o estilo e a qualidade de vida das mulheres (REZENDE, et al 2019).…”

O climatério é uma fase significativa na vida da mulher, expondo-se a alterações fisiológicas que podem interferir na sua qualidade de vida, os benefícios promovidos pelas PICS podem trazer tratamentos alternativos para os distúrbios gerados no climatério. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma revisão de escopo para analisar e resumir sistematicamente as evidências científicas sobre os benefícios promovidos pelas PICS como tratamento para redução dos sintomas do climatério e melhoria da qualidade de vida. Métodos: A scoping review foi realizada com base na estrutura de Arksey e O'Malley. O diagrama Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) foi usado como um guia para registrar o processo de revisão. Os artigos do ano de 2006 a 2021 sobre PICS no climatério foram encontrados com base em palavras-chave usando bases de dados eletrônicas (Scielo, Lilacs, PubMed, CINAHL e Web of Science). Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram identificados 294 artigos na busca inicial nas bases de dados, dos quais houve uma amostra final de 30 textos, alcançada a partir da leitura dos materiais na íntegra. Resultados: Os estudos avaliados abordaram diversas PICS na melhoria da qualidade de mulheres climatéricas. Acupuntura e Yoga são as formas mais estudadas e comprovadas para melhorar os sintomas. O óleo essencial de lavanda foi utilizado em todos os estudos que investigaram a aromaterapia como benefícios para mulheres climatéricas. Estudos mostram que sintomas como distúrbios do sono, fadiga, atrofia vaginal e problemas sexuais, influenciados pelas alterações hormonais no climatério, afetam as emoções das mulheres e impactam diretamente em sua saúde mental. Foram identificadas lacunas quanto ao uso de outras práticas integrativas, visto que a maioria dos estudos abordava mais a acupuntura e o yoga. Conclusões: Necessidade de realização de estudos nacionais sobre o uso de PICS nesta fase, visto que na literatura há poucos estudos realizados no Brasil. Além disso, propõe-se a ampliação das terapias integrativas complementares como item indispensável na atenção à saúde da mulher.

Background Sexual health access and care for women in the menopausal stages face significant barriers, presenting deficits in relation to diagnosis and treatment. Although epidemiological data indicate high prevalence of problems related to sexual health in this population, traditionally, the theme is not discussed in health care settings. This study aimed to analyze knowledge, practices and barriers to access sexual health of women in the menopausal stages in the context of women’s health care in Brazil. Methods With a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was distributed electronically, encompassing variables related to knowledge; practices; and barriers to access sexual health of women in the menopausal stages. The data obtained were subjected to analysis using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Specifically, we employed multivariate analysis, employing multiple linear regression models, to discern potential factors associated with outcomes concerning the level of knowledge and the frequency of addressing the topic in professional practice. Results The sample included 70 physicians with specialization in obstetrician/gynecologists who work in health care with women in the menopausal transition or postmenopausal women. A high level of self-reported knowledge about sexual health was identified. Regarding the practices, most of them reported directly proposing the subject and not using instruments. Although they reported frequently addressing the topic in general, topics related to vaginal lubrication, dyspareunia, and sexual dysfunction have been more present in the clinic compared to sexual orientation and women’s relationship with themselves. The main barriers were time limitation and patient discomfort with the topic. The multivariate models indicated that female gynecologists and professionals with higher levels of knowledge on the subject had a higher frequency of addressing sexual health in clinical practice with women in menopausal stages. Conclusions Sexual health access and care for brazilian women in the menopausal stages presents discrepancies in the frequency of approach between the various topics, in addition to the predictive character of technical knowledge in the practices of professionals. To ensure universal access to sexual health services for this population, an active approach through specific instruments is important, as well as the reinforcement of strategies to improve the level of knowledge of professionals.

Background The Quality of Life in climacteric women is intrinsically related to signs and symptoms influenced by the decrease of estrogen and psychosocial factors linked to the natural aging process. Thus, this study aimed to trace the sociodemographic and clinical profiles of climacteric women working at the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) and evaluate their Quality of Life. Methods It is a descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative study. The population consisted of female workers from UERN, aging between 40 and 65 years. The total sample consisted of 63 women who answered the forms. Data collection was completely online, which allowed the women to have free choice to choose the most appropriate time to answer the questions. Results The majority of the participants were older than 50 years (53.97%, n = 34), were married or in a stable union (55.56%, n = 35), and lived in Mossoró-RN (82.53%, n = 52). Regarding skin color, white and brown women had the same percentage of 44.44% (n = 28). The pain, general health status, and vitality domains evidence the predominance of poor quality of life in the SF-36 questionnaire. Regarding the level of satisfaction with their current health status, 4.76% (n = 3) stated that they fit the level considered excellent, 44.44% (n = 28) very good, 46, 03% (n = 29) were good, and 4.77% (n = 3) stated unsatisfied with their current health status. The intensity of symptoms related to estrogen deficiency established by the Kupperman menopause index is as Mild 55.56% (n = 35), moderate 41.27% (n = 26), and severe 3.17% (n = 2). Conclusions The occurrence of symptoms and perception of these symptoms differs from woman to woman, to a greater or lesser extent. These findings emphasize the need for qualified and individualized care for the needs of these women in health services and the development of applicable solutions for solving problems based on each woman profile.
