“…It has been reported that the bene ts of treatment are transmitted primarily by health professionals, whilst the risks are communicated through the media 5 . Previous studies carried out in our country have pointed out that the majority of sources of information on menopause are friends, family or the media, while only a small percentage (15-25%) used medical sources of information [5][6][7] . The data from our study point in another direction, since nearly half of the women reported seeking information from health professionals (preferably specialists in gynecology), particularly those women with a higher level of education, of older age or within menopause.…”

“…There is limited data about women's attitudes and experiences around menopause in Spain, and those that do exist are very incomplete and only related to the fear that menopause hormone therapy (MHT) has generated among the population [4][5][6] . The primary objective of this study was to assess beliefs and knowledge among women in Spain in this regard.…”

ObjectiveTo study what women think about menopause treatments and assess their knowledge about them. To analyze adherence to treatment during COVID-19 confinement as a secondary objective.MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a survey of 2500 women between January and June 2019. This was administered following a non-probability sampling procedure including women between 35 and 75 years. An extension study was conducted during the coronavirus pandemic, between March and June 2020. ResultsThe responses of 2355 surveyed women were analyzed. Of this sample, 42% knew about menopause hormone therapy (MHT). The most frequently identified indication was the treatment of hot flashes (65.6%). The MHT risks most frequently perceived were weight gain (24.2%) and breast cancer (21.7%); the main reason for rejecting MHT was a lack of information (96.1%). Comparative analyses were conducted according to age, menopausal status, type of menopause, place of residence, type of health care and level of education. During the coronavirus confinement period, 85 women using MHT were located, of which 84.7% continued it. ConclusionsWomen hold certain false beliefs about menopause, and their knowledge of the available treatments is somewhat limited. Adherence to MHT during the COVID-19 confinement in Spain has been high.

“…Según ha reconocido la propia OMS, los profesionales sanitarios desempeñan un papel relevante en el diagnóstico precoz, la asistencia y la rehabilitación 4 . En este sentido, los servicios sanitarios pueden desempeñar un papel crucial al identificar los casos VG como tales en los partes judiciales de lesión (PJL), y ayudar así a las mujeres maltratadas en la tramitación del proceso judicial.…”

“…Los factores asociados con el nivel de conocimientos fueron la zona de residencia (mayor nivel de conocimientos en la zona urbana, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas en relación a las zonas rural y semirural) y nivel de estudios (mayor nivel de conocimientos de las mujeres con estudios secundarios y universitarios en relación a las mujeres sin estudios o con estudios primarios. Como señalan otros autores 3,4 , las fuentes de información sobre la menopausia son sobre todo las amistades y/o familiares, la prensa y la televisión. Ruiz 4 afirma que «los medios de comunicación son los principales divulgadores de los riesgos de la terapia hormonal sustitutiva (THS) entre las mujeres que reciben la prescripción (42,2%) y un porcentaje relativamente bajo 41,9% a través de los profesionales sanitarios».…”
