“…According to a study by Duche et al (21), psychological and physical symptoms in a woman around the age of menopause are related to perceived social support. The lack of understanding and absence of social support bring women to the doctor's office and hospital in many cases (22). Understanding the symptoms and problems of postmenopausal women and providing them with support, accordingly, can play a positive role in improving their mental condition.…”

Background:The most common symptom in early menopausal women is depression. Depression is a type of chronic disease that impacts on postmenopausal women's life. Social support plays a protective role for women and enables them to solve their life problems and thus, feel less depressed. Objectives:We assessed depression as a chronic disease and evaluated the association between perceived social support and depression in postmenopausal women. Patients and Methods:This correlation-analytic study was conducted on 321 postmenopausal women using 2-stage cluster sampling in Ahvaz in 2014. Data collecting instruments were comprised of a demographic questionnaire, a depression scale (Beck Depression Inventory-II), and a social support questionnaire (PRQ 85-Part 2). Data analysis was done using SPSS, version 20. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between perceived social support and depression, and the χ 2 test was employed to assess the relationship between perceived social support and demographic characteristics. Results: The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant reverse relationship between perceived social support and depression (r = -0.468; P = 0.001). There were significant relationships between perceived social support and some personal variables such as marital status, education level, and job status (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant relationships between perceived social support and some other personal characteristics such as income and ethnicity (P > 0.05). Conclusions:We found a reverse relationship between perceived social support and depression in postmenopausal women. Raising awareness in society apropos the relationship between social support and depression in postmenopausal women can enhance their quality of life.

“…30,31 Alterations in ovarian hormone production could lead to changes in mood in women, like those with PMDs, who are sensitive to ovarian hormone fluctuations. PMDs can worsen with age, and there is clear evidence that PMDs increase the risk of a major depressive episode in women during the menopause transition, 32 which occurs in the age range of women currently transiting to and from and living on the ISS (see Table 1 and Figs. 3-6).…”

This article is part of a larger body of work entitled, ''The Impact of Sex and Gender on Adaptation to Space.'' It was developed in response to a recommendation from the 2011 National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey, ''Recapturing a Future for Space Exploration: Life and Physical Sciences for a New Era,'' which emphasized the need to fully understand sex and gender differences. In this article, our workgroup-consisting of expert scientists and clinicians from academia and the private sector-investigated and summarized the current body of published and unpublished human research performed to date related to sex-and gender-based differences in behavioral adaptations to human spaceflight. This review identifies sex-related differences in: (1) sleep, circadian rhythms, and neurobehavioral measures; (2) personality, group interactions, and work performance and satisfaction; and (3) stress and clinical disorders. Differences in these areas substantially impact the risks and optimal medical care required by space-faring women. To ensure the health and safety of male and female astronauts during long-duration space missions, it is imperative to understand the influences that sex and gender have on behavioral health changes occurring during spaceflight.

“…Sin embargo, fue en los años 30 cuando el síndrome de tensión premenstrual fue delineado, coincidiendo posiblemente con la entrada de las mujeres a la fuerza laboral (10). La American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) es optimista en seña-lar que sólo 5 a 10% experimentan síntomas bastante severos para ser debilitantes (11), recientes publicaciones revelan que entre el 23 y 67% de las mujeres son portadoras de sintomatología premenstrual moderada a severa (5-7) las que resultan en disminución del funcionamiento y deterioro de las relaciones interpersonales (4,7,8).…”

“…Un problema común de las mujeres en edad reproductiva corresponde a los síntomas físicos y emocionales que ocurren durante el ciclo menstrual (2), los que a menudo son clasificados bajo el término genérico "Síndrome Premenstrual" (SPM) (3). Diversos autores concuerdan que estos sínto-mas pueden llegar a ser lo suficientemente severos como para interferir en diversas áreas de la vida de la mujer, entre ellas las relaciones interpersonales, actividades sociales y desempeño laboral (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

RESUMENEl Síndrome Premenstrual (SPM) afecta a gran cantidad de mujeres en edad reproductiva y se caracteriza por una repetición cíclica de síntomas físicos y psicológicos que, en algunos casos, pueden llegar a ser lo suficientemente severos como para interferir en los patrones de vida. El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es conocer cómo afecta el SPM el rendimiento laboral de las mujeres. A pesar de las significativas repercusiones personales y económicas, existen pocas investigaciones que estudien la relación entre SPM y rendimiento laboral. Sin embargo, la literatura es concluyente en señalar que la productividad laboral es un importante dominio de la vida de la mujer adversamente afectado por el SPM, manifestado en un aumento de la tasa de ausentismo laboral y reducción de la productividad. Se concluye, según la literatura revisada, que el SPM afecta el rendimiento laboral, lo que sugiere a los profesionales de la salud tomar un rol activo en la derivación y tratamiento oportuno, para de esta forma lograr un aumento en la productividad laboral de las mujeres.PALABRAS CLAVE: Síndrome premenstrual, productividad laboral SUMMARYThe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects a large quantity of women of reproductive age, and it characterizes because of a cyclic recurrence of physical and psychological simptoms that, in some cases, might become severe enough as to interfere with a persons life pattern. The objective of this paper is to gather a bibliographic revision that will lead us to know how PMS affects the working performance of women. Although the repercussions in this matter are very significant, there are only a few studies about the relation and interdependence between this syndrome and the efficiency at work. However, some literature establishes that the PMS largely affects the working productivity of women, which is manifested in reduction of productivity and larger rates of working absenteeism. The conclusion we support after having checked papers, reports and literature written about PMS is that this syndrome does affect the working performance of those how suffer it, by enhancing the rates of labor absenteeism and reducing productivity at work. This suggests that health professionals should take a more active role in the treatment of this disease, in order to achieve the goal of increasing the productivity at work for women.
