Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in menopausal symptoms measured by the Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale — 0-6 month
The value explanation method based on transition theory improves menopausal symptoms in women when applied to perimenopausal women. The Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale was developed to measure the severity of menopausal symptoms. The scale, adapted into Turkish, consists of 11 items and 3 sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions are somatic complaints (items 1, 2, 3, and 11), psychological complaints (items 4, 5, 6, and 7), and urogenital complaints (items 8, 9, and 10). The Likert-type scale, which includes menopausal complaints, uses the options: 0: None, 1: Mild, 2: Moderate, 3: Severe, and 4: Very severe. The total score is calculated from the scores obtained from each item. The lowest possible score is "0," and the highest is "44." An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the severity of complaints and a negative impact on quality of life.
