“…The climacteric period is experienced in different ways. Qualitative and quantitative studies have been performed in the U.S.A., Japan, and Europe to explain the physiological, psychological, and behavioral experience of climacteric women and to explain ethnic differences (Morisson et al, 2014). For example, the results of quantitative studies found ethnic differences in psychosomatic symptoms by White, Afro-American, Hispanic and Asian women.…”

Introduction and objective:In the period of transition from the reproductive to post-reproductive phase, clinical problems and changes of various character and intensity occur, which can affect the life of women. The aim of this quantitative study was to evaluate the factors affecting quality of life and quality of health of Czech women during the transition from reproductive to post-reproductive life. Methods: The data were obtained using two standardized questionnaires -(1) the WHO's WHOQOL-Bref and (2) Women's Health Questionnaire, (WHQ), as well as one non-standardized questionnaire to identify the women's quality of life and quality of health. Results: In relation to the quality of life, a statistical analysis showed that physical health was evaluated as the best item, while the home environment was considered to be the worst of the evaluated items. A comparison of the quality of health variables showed that during the climacteric, respondents were most troubled by vasomotor symptoms and least troubled by anxiety/fear. Most respondents perceived their quality of life as good, and the majority of women were satisfied with their health. Conclusions: A comparison of the quality of health variables showed that during the climacteric, respondents were most troubled by vasomotor symptoms and least troubled by anxiety/fear. Most respondents perceived their quality of life as good, and the majority of women were satisfied with their health.

“…During this period, there are changes in the scope of life, work and family relationships, such as widowhood, divorce, children leave their homes and/or grandchildren are born. In addition, many women have been marrying and having children "later" outlining new configurations and arrangements: middle-aged women with kids and adolescents at home, and who may also be responsible for the their parents' care, which can affect the experience of this transition period (6) . Despite the complexity of biopsychosocial and cultural issues that permeate female middle age, health actions directed at middle-aged women in Brazil and other countries have been insufficient, even in the context of primary care (7)(8) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar sentidos atribuídos à meia-idade a partir da experiência de mulheres que a vivenciam em suas relações familiares. Método Estudo qualitativo do tipo Pesquisa Convergente Assistencial. Gênero foi utilizado como categoria analítica, desenvolvida com treze mulheres de meia-idade de área de cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família em um município do sudoeste baiano, por oficinas de reflexão e entrevistas. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de discurso. Resultados Expressam a relação afetiva com filhos/as e netos/as como maior marca da meia-idade em sobreposição à relação com parceiros e outros vínculos, o que inviabiliza sua singularidade e identificação de demandas para o cuidado à saúde. Conclusão A meia-idade feminina é marcada por concepções de feminilidade que emergem a partir da sua condição de mulher-mãe, de completa doação. A pesquisa aponta para uma necessidade urgente de agregar gênero como referencial para o cuidado à mulher de meia-idade, de modo a considerar os entrelaçamentos biopsíquicos e sociais na sua experiência de vida e que delineiam demandas para o cuidado.

“…For some Western women, aging can bring freedom, self-awareness, growth, reflection, and reassessment of role (Hvas & Gannik, 2008;Perz & Ussher, 2008). In parts of the world menopause has shown to be a time of freedom from previous restrictions (Beyene, 1986) and personal rebirth and empowerment (Morrison et al, 2014). Freed from menstrual uncleanliness, Iranian women are recorded as performing more religious rituals (Hakimi, Simbar, Ramezani Tehrani, Zaiery, & Khatami, 2016).…”
