Description
Introduction: Menopause is an essential part of human life that affects women’s Quality
of Life (QoL).
Objective: This study investigated the QoL and some relevant factors in menopausal women.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 45-60 years old
menopausal women in 3 areas of Kashan city, Iran in 2018. By cluster sampling method, 236
participants were included in the study. The study questionnaires consist of demographic
and obstetric information and Menopausal QoL (MENQoL). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,
t test, the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, as well as linear regression analysis,
were used for data analysis.
Results: The Mean±SD age of the women was 52.65±3.67 years. Also, their Mean±SD for
elapsed years since menopause was 2.89±1.53, and the Mean±SD for QOL was 31.24±11.47.
There were no significant correlations between QOL and women’s age, menopausal age,
and elapsed years since menopause. Based on linear regression analysis, the variables of age
(B=2.61, 95%CI; 0.46-4.77, P=0.02), menopausal age (B=-2.19, 95%CI; -4.39- -0.01, P=0.049),
and satisfaction of spouse ((B=-4.90, 95%CI; -8.45- -0.35, P=0.007) remained in the model as
relegated variables to QoL score (R2
=11.8%).
Conclusion: Since most women had moderate menopausal QOL score, intervention programs
to improve the QOL for postmenopausal women is recommended in health centers. Further
studies are suggested to evaluate the QoL in chronic diseases of postmenopausal women.
