Awareness, Spouse, Menopause, Women’s experiences
Description
Introduction: Women are subject to extensive changes during menopause. Life crises such as
menopause can affect women’s health and is a turning point in their lives. The husbands are
the most important and closest people who can support their wives in this evolutionary crisis
with their correct understanding of the situation.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of husbands’ awareness of the
physical and psychological experiences of postmenopausal women.
Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was performed on 150 married
postmenopausal women in Kashmar City, Iran, in 2019. The husbands of the intervention
group received three sessions (60 minutes) of the menopause training program with one-
week intervals. The spouses of both groups received routine care at the health center.
The questionnaire of psychological and physical experiences of postmenopausal women
and measuring men’s awareness of menopause in both groups was completed before the
intervention and one month after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of the Chi-square, paired t-test, independent
t-test, and analysis of covariance.
Results: The Mean±SD age of women in the intervention group was 51.13±2.68 years, and
their Mean±SD menopausal age was 49.09±2.60 years. The Mean±SD score of menopausal
experiences before the intervention was 144.99±38.09 in the intervention group and
143.47±28.48 in the control group and 105.53(35.41) in the intervention group, and 118.82
(82.21) in the control group. The statistical test showed that the mean score of menopausal
experiences and the range of adaptation after the intervention and also between the two
groups have statistically significant differences with each other (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Menopause has adverse physical and psychological symptoms. An intervention
program to increase the awareness of men during menopause reduces negative menopausal
experiences in women.
