The completed data of 189 perimenopausal and menopausal women were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA and pearson's correlation coefficient using the SPSS statistical programme.ResultsThe menopausal women showed significantly higher physical symptoms than perimenopausal women. The menopausal women showed significantly higher psychosomatic symptom than perimenopausal women. There was a significant correlation between the menopausal attitude and management.ConclusionThis study suggests that the fundamental data of developing midlife women's symptom index (MSI) and providing menopause management could be a strategy to encourage successful menopausal transition in middle-aged women.

This study aimed to determine the effect of health-promoting lifestyle education given to menopausal women in accordance with Pender's Health Promoting Model (HPM) on reducing the menopausal symptoms. Materials and Methods: This study is a semiexperimental research with pre-test and post-test control groups. In the first stage of the study, Socio-demographic Information Form (SIF) and Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) were applied to 401 menopausal women to determine the severity of their menopausal symptoms. In the second phase of the study, women with intense menopausal symptoms were randomly divided into two groups. 32 menopausal women in initiative group and 32 menopausal women were in the control group. One group, the experimental group, received Health-Promoting Lifestyle Education (HPLE), while the other group was the control group. Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), and Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) were applied as pretests in both groups. Health-promoting lifestyle education was given to the experimental group twice with a one-week break between the sessions and the sessions were completed in four weeks. Results: Statistically significant decreases were found in the total MRS scores and subdimension scores of the menopausal women in experimental group after the education. Conclusion: Health-promoting lifestyle education was found to be effective in reducing the severity of menopausal symptoms. Amaç: Bu çalışma menopozal dönemdeki kadınlara Pender'in Sağlığı Geliştirme modeli doğrultusunda uygulanan Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programının menopozal belirtilerin giderilmesine etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma ön test ve son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında, menopoz semptomlarının şiddetini belirlemek için 401 menopoz dönemindeki kadına Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu (SIF) ve Menopoz Semptomlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MSDÖ) uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında, yoğun menopoz semptomları olan kadınlar randomize olarak iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Deney grubu, Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programı grubu, diğer grup ise kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. 32 menopozal kadın girişim, 32 menopozal kadın kontrol grubunda yer almıştır. Menopoz Derecelendirme Ölçeği (MSDÖ), Sağlıklı Yaşam Davranışları Ölçeği II (SYBDÖ II) ve Özetkililik-Yeterlilik Ölçeği her iki grupa da ön test olarak uygulanmıştır. Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programı, deney grubuna iki kez birer hafta ara ile uygulanmış ve seanslar dört haftada tamamlanmıştır. Bulgular: Eğitimden sonra, deney grubundaki menopozdaki kadınların toplam MSDÖ skorları ve alt boyut puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir düşüş belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programının menopoz belirtilerin şiddetini azaltmada etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Limited knowledge and negative attitudes about menopause among postmenopausal women (PMW) create a multitude of health-related issues leading to impaired quality of life (QOL) among them. This study evaluated the impact of a health-promoting lifestyle education intervention (HPLEI) on knowledge, attitude, and QOL in a group of PMW in Sri Lanka. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 72 PMW, matched for sociodemographic status of the community from two geographically separated areas in Galle, and they were allocated to intervention (n=37) and control (n=35) groups. HPLEI is comprised of health education sessions focused on postmenopausal health management with lifestyle modifications provided only for the intervention group for 8 weeks and follow-up for 6 months. The control group was not given any planned education programme and was allowed to proceed with the usual lifestyle during this period. Knowledge, attitude, menopause-specific QOL (MENQOL), and overall QOL were evaluated in both groups with self-administered questionnaires at the baseline, after 8 weeks of education sessions and at the end of 6 months of follow-up. The mean (SD) ages of the intervention and control groups were 54.6 (4.5) and 56.5 (3.4) (p=0.06) years, respectively. All evaluated variable scores were not different between the intervention and control groups (p>0.05) at the baseline. In the intervention group, knowledge (mean±SD; 21.70±1.05) and attitude (mean±SD; 44.02±5.33) scores increased at the end (p<0.001). In the control group, a marginal increase in all dimensions of knowledge scores (mean±SD; 9.71±2.21) and unchanged attitude scores (mean±SD; 23.91±7.56) were seen. All MENQOL scores decreased during the follow-up in the intervention group (mean±SD; 138.51±18.47) (p<0.001) except the sexual domain (p=0.32). MENQOL scores were increased in the control group (mean±SD; 92.05±28.87) (p<0.001) with time. Overall QOL scores increased (mean±SD; 74.85±9.71) (p<0.001) in the intervention group during the study period and in the control group overall QOL (mean±SD; 51.03±13.61) showed a reduction (p<0.001) at the end. Health education focused on health-promoting lifestyle modifications was effective in improving knowledge, attitude, MENQOL, and overall QOL of PMW.
