Predictors of Religious Orientation Attitudes in Menopausal Women
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This descriptive, cross-sectional study examines whether the severity of menopausal symptoms and attitudes toward sexual myths predict intrinsic religious orientation in menopausal women. Menopause is a multidimensional transition with biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects, and in societies with a strong cultural and religious fabric women may draw on religious orientation as a coping and meaning-making resource. Participants are healthy women aged 49 to 59 with a diagnosis of menopause and no chronic disease, recruited in Konya, Turkey. Data are collected face to face using a personal information form, the Menopause Rating Scale, the Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale and the Sexual Myths Scale, and analysed with multiple regression.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Intrinsic religious orientation (Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale) — Single assessment at enrollment (Day 1)
The Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale (Hoge, 1972; Turkish standardisation by Karaca, 2001) contains 10 items measuring intrinsic religious motivation. Seven items are positively worded and three are negatively worded and reverse coded. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert format scored from 0 (weakest) to 4 (strongest), giving a total score of 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating stronger intrinsic religious orientation.
