Primary outcome measure(s)
Perceived Stress Scale — Beginning The scale consists of 10 items and is evaluated based on a total score. The scale is scored on a scale of 1-5. The total score ranges from 10 to 50, and an increase in the score indicates an increase in perceived stress level. The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
Beck Anxiety Scale — Beginning The scale ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 63 points. However, based on the scores obtained on the scale, patients' anxiety levels are classified as follows: 0-7 points is low, 8-15 points is mild, 16-25 points is moderate, and 26-63 points is high anxiety. A high score indicates that the individual is experiencing a high level of anxiety.The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
Menopause Symptom Assessment Scale — Beginning The scale consists of 11 items and 3 subscales. An increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the severity of complaints and, consequently, a negative impact on quality of life. The lowest possible score on the entire scale is 0, and the highest is 44.The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
