Full textAbstract:
Background: Menopause signifies the beginning of a non-reproductive phase from the reproductive period. Although it is considered a natural life transition, recent studies have indicated that a woman’s menopausal experience may impact her quality of life. While studies have examined Malaysian women’s knowledge and awareness of menopause, they have focused on the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and sociocultural aspects. These investigations also used a quantitative design that may have limited the information regarding the nature and experience of menopause. Objectives: This study explores women’s perceptions and understanding of their menopausal experience. Methods: A total of 20 menopausal women were recruited using purposive sampling through social media in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to explore how they perceived their menopausal experience. The data were then analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Three themes that emerged from the findings included perceptions of menopause, biopsychosocial changes and help-seeking behavior. For many Muslim women, menopause was perceived as a time for them to engage in religious commitment more than they had before. Conclusion: The study findings uncovered a knowledge gap and a lack of support for women impacted by menopause. Muslim women regarded their menopause phase as a time for them to engage in religious duty fully. These results indicate the need for a psychosocial intervention and educational program to ensure women a better transition throughout their menopausal phase.

Background: Menopause is one of the most significant events in a woman's life and brings in a number of physiological changes that affect the life of a woman permanently and can be influenced by various socio-demographic factors and coping activities. The objectives of the study were to determine the commonly reported menopausal symptoms among middle age women and to correlate identified menopausal problems with coping strategies found in participants.Methods: By using modified MRS questionnaire, 150 menopausal women aged 40-60 years were interview to document of 12 symptoms (divided into somatic, psychological and urogenital domain) commonly associated with menopause.Results: The mean age of menopause was 49.8 years (±4.9) (range 43 - 57 years). The most prevalent symptoms reported were joint and muscular discomfort (70.6%); physical and mental exhaustion (61.3%); and sleeping problems (59.3%). Followed by symptoms of anxiety (48.6%); irritability (45.3%) hot flushes and sweating (38.6; dryness of vagina (37.9%); depressive mood (38.0%). Other complaints noted were incontinence/Frequency of urine (27.3 and heart discomfort (23.3%). Perimenopausal women (47.2%) experienced higher prevalence of somatic and psychological symptoms compared to premenopausal (n=15.6) and postmenopausal (37.2%) women. However urogenital symptoms found more in postmenopausal group of women. There is a strong significant association between the menopausal symptoms and coping strategies adopted by the menopausal women.Conclusions: Symptoms have variable onset in relation to menopause. Some women experience symptoms earlier during perimenopause while some experience them at a later time. The application of various coping methods, including the establishment of social support networks, is warranted to enhance postmenopausal women’s behaviors in different aspects.

The study aims to identify the extent of women’s awareness of the meaning of advanced age and the nature of the psycho-social aspects of health that they face in the advanced stages of life to come up with a suggested proposal for the contribution of social services to the development of women’s awareness of aspects of advanced life stages from a cognitive perspective. The samples of the study are women older than 40 who are either in their perimenopause or menopause phase. The size of the sample is (208) woman; (104) women from the health center Al-Olaya and (104) women from the health center in Al-Suleimaniah. The study results showed a decline in their awareness that this stage in their age constitutes the flow and movement phase (productivity and contribution) versus recession and showed a likely rate of (0.22 %) and came last in the results. Results of the study also showed low response rates regarding health and physical aspects such as the occurrence of hot flashes (12%), reduced fertility (9.95), and osteoporosis (7.5%). These rates underscore the lack of awareness of the respondents concerning these variables. On the other hand, the study showed a high awareness of the respondents with respect to psychological aspects such as the awareness of the feeling of neglect and lack of interest by others scored highest. Society’s perception of advanced age is one of the social realities which received (7.13 %) by respondents. The study recommends the need to activate the contribution of social services in the increase of women›s awareness of health, psychological and social manifestations of menopause and beyond

Full textAbstract:
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common disorder in women, involving severe consequences on the patients’ perception of quality of life and sexuality. The aim of this contribution is to analyze the psycho-relational aspects linked to UI, focusing on sexual activity, self-perception of sexual competence and self-esteem. Urinary incontinence causes feelings of shame and inadequacy as well as low self-esteem; it may affect sexual activity, reducing sexual intercourse frequency. Many authors highlight a strong comorbidity between urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunctions, such as dyspareunia, vaginismus, hypo-active sexual desire, arousal and orgasm disorders. Literature analysis shows that changes in sexual activity are influenced not only by urinary incontinence symptoms but also by the disorder self-perception, by previous sexuality, menopause, social status and the partner's attitude. The etiological study of urinary incontinence shows that several different factors play a role in this disorder. Therefore, an integrated therapeutic approach is suggested, considering, besides the organic issues, the experience and feelings of patients as well as the consequences on their sexual and social life.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEarly menopause (EM) and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) affect an estimated 10% of women and can precipitate a wide range of physiological and personal impacts. Receiving a diagnosis of EM/POI and navigating treatment can be complex experiences for women; however, qualitative research exploring these aspects of the condition is limited. Our study aimed to increase understanding of women's lived experiences of EM/POI encompassing its medical, social, and emotional dimensions. We conducted narrative interviews with 30 women aged 28 to 51 years with spontaneous and iatrogenic EM/POI and menopausal symptoms resulting from ovarian suppression therapy, and analyzed transcripts thematically. This article examines the prominent and under-researched themes of women's experiences of navigating “diagnosis” and treatment. Diagnosis emerged as a complex and changeable process wherein women had to negotiate a diagnosis of spontaneous EM/POI and grasp the meaning and probability of iatrogenic EM/POI. Navigating treatment entailed further complexity as women grappled with the risks and efficacy of hormonal and non-hormonal medications. The findings underline the intricacies of EM/POI as a biomedical phenomenon and highlight the need for health practitioners to recognize and respond to the challenges women face in coming to terms with the condition and managing its embodied effects.

In the process of human aging, the modifications are inherent to the phases of life and with respect to female aging, climacteric and consequently menopause, constitutes an event that accentuates their perception and / or self-perception. Coronary heart disease can be one of the consequences of the climacteric, compromising the quality of life of women who are at this stage. Epidemiology has shown that the heart attack kill both the women and the men and kill the women more in the climacteric period. Physical symptoms, emotional problems or social support problems may present themselves and negatively impact a daily life marked by the accumulation of roles (professionals, marriages, caregivers). The recognition of this complexity of events coupled with the fact that my professional activity as a social worker is focused on attending coronary climacteric women, answered for the interest in researching how issues inherent to female aging (focusing on the climacteric and its developments) impact the quality of life and also how social supports can contribute to the greater well-being of these women. The general objective that guided my research was therefore to study the relationship between social support and its impact on the quality of life of coronary climacteric women treated at the Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology (IDPC / SUS). Among the specific objectives, the following should be highlighted: demographic and socioeconomic profiles, identify their self-perception of quality of life; as well as their social support and analyze how these variables are articulated. For that, I carried out a literature review pertinent to this topic based on data collected in a field survey performed with 52 women attending the IDPC. The results of this discussion allowed me not only to ratify my initial hypothesis that a good social support positively impacts the women‘s quality of life in this stage, but also to point out a propositional way to potentiate social actions as a fundamental part of a project to improve health for them
No processo de envelhecimento humano, as modificações são inerentes às fases da vida e, no que diz respeito ao envelhecimento feminino, o climatério e, consequentemente, a menopausa, constitui um acontecimento que acentua sua percepção e/ou autopercepção. A doença coronariana pode se configurar como um dos desdobramentos do climatério, comprometendo a qualidade de vida de mulheres que se encontram nessa etapa. A Epidemiologia tem mostrado que o enfarto mata tanto a mulher quanto o homem e mata mais a mulher no período climatérico. Sintomas físicos, problemas emocionais ou relativos ao suporte social podem nele se apresentar e impactar negativamente um cotidiano já marcado por acúmulo de papéis (profissionais, matrimoniais, cuidadoras). O reconhecimento dessa complexidade de eventos, aliada ao fato de que minha atividade profissional como assistente social está voltada ao atendimento de mulheres climatéricas coronarianas, incentivou-me a pesquisar de que modo questões inerentes ao envelhecimento feminino (com foco no climatério e seus desdobramentos) impactam a qualidade de vida e, também, como os suportes sociais podem contribuir para um maior bem-estar dessas mulheres. O objetivo geral que orientou minha pesquisa foi estudar a relação entre suporte social e seu impacto na qualidade de vida de mulheres climatéricas coronarianas atendidas no Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia (IDPC/SUS). Entre os objetivos específicos, destacam-se: estudar o perfil demográfico e socioeconômico dessas mulheres; identificar sua autopercepção de qualidade de vida, bem como de seu suporte social e analisar de que modo tais variáveis se articulam. Para tal, realizei uma revisão da literatura pertinente a essa temática, tomada como base para discutir dados coletados em uma pesquisa de campo, realizada com 52 mulheres atendidas no IDPC. Os resultados dessa discussão permitiram-me não apenas ratificar minha hipótese inicial de que um bom suporte social impacta positivamente na qualidade de vida de mulheres nessa etapa, como também indiciar um caminho propositivo para potencializar ações sociais como parte fundamental de um projeto para melhorar a saúde

Resumo: Realizou-se um estudo descritivo e exploratório de corte transversal, de base populacional, com o objetivo de estudar o conhecimento sobre a menopausa e o seu tratamento, as fontes de informação e questões de saúde que preocupam as mulheres climatéricas, associando-se ao estado menopausal e ao estrato social. Selecionou-se, através de processo de amostragem, 456 mulheres residentes no Município de Campinas, Estado de São Paulo, na faixa etária de 45 a 60 anos de idade, segundo informações obtidas da agência local do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas domiciliares, com questionários estruturados e prétestados, fornecidos pela Fundação Internacional de Saúde/Sociedade Internacional de Menopausa e pela Sociedade Norte-Americana de Menopausa e adaptados pelos autores. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do teste do Qui-quadrado e teste exato de Fisher, com nível de significância estatística menor que 0,05. A maioria das mulheres considerou a menopausa como a parada das menstruações e conseqüente a um declínio na produção hormonal, independentemente do estado menopausal e do estrato social. A principal fonte de informação sobre o climatério foi oriunda de médicos e serviços de saúde, sendo que a maioria das mulheres sentiu-se satisfeita com as informações recebidas, estando associado a mulheres de melhor nível social. O risco de desenvolvimento da doença cardiovascular e da osteoporose foram as principais preocupações de saúde relatadas pelas mulheres, independente do estado menopausal e estrato social. A terapia de reposição hormonal foi o tratamento mais relatado e de uso corrente em mulheres de melhor nível socioeconômico. Os principais motivos para uso de hormônios foram o alívio dos sintomas do climatério e a melhora na qualidade de vida, independente do estado menopausal e associado a classes sociais mais elevadas. A principal razão para interromper o uso de terapia de reposição hormonal foi a melhora da sintomatologia, independente das variáveis estudadas

Previous issue date: 2008This present study sought to understand the menopause as an event determined by both biological and socio cultural aspects, that print mark and demarcate the female life, capturing the woman in a complex network of feelings and perceptions involving their bodies, their sexuality, their health and self-care. Objectives: To know the meanings constructed by women users of the Unified Health System (SUS), who integrate of the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation of a Health Center group, located at the city of Porto Alegre, about their experiences related to the influence of menopause in their bodies and their lives. We analyzed also what that women knew about menopause, their experiences during their menstrual cycle, how they faced their interruption of menstruation, the main body signals associated with menopause, the feelings that emerged with menopause and their self-care practices in their stage of life. Methodology: This research presents a design qualitative, with a descriptive and exploratory approuch. Study participants were sixteen women users of SUS, aged from 50 to 89 years old, who participated in treatment groups for Rehabilitation of the Pelvic Floor. Data was collected from November 2007 to August 2008, using a semi-structured interview based on a questionnaire with open questions. The data was analyzed, interpreted and categorized according to the technique of Content Analysis following Bardin’s approach. Final considerations: For most of the participants talk about menopause in their lives was a return to their past, a search in memory. These aspects include learning ways to describe their body perceptions, difficulties faced by them, their feelings with the menstruation interruption, their body’s signals, perceived changes by them, their sexuality life, the medicalization of their bodies and those who operated and its effects, such as completion of hysterectomy. For other participants, the menopause is still a current experience, with a combination of desire and fear, and nebulous experiences, within an unfinished development. During the woman life, body and menopause have intermingled and combined among themselves different societies and cultures. They present several forms and possibilities for interlacing, built according to habits, lifestyles and personal stories of each woman. Without leaving of being feminine, being woman, but especially becoming a new woman
O presente estudo buscou compreender a menopausa como um acontecimento determinado tanto por aspectos biológicos como sócio-culturais, que imprimem marcas e demarcam a vida feminina, capturando a mulher em uma rede complexa de sentimentos e percepções que envolvem seu corpo, sua sexualidade, sua saúde e os cuidados consigo. Objetivos: Conhecer os significados construídos por mulheres usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) a respeito das marcas da menopausa inscritas em seus corpos e suas vidas. Verificou-se também o conhecimento que as mulheres tinham a respeito da menopausa, a vivência de cada uma sobre os ciclos menstruais, como elas elaboraram a interrupção da menstruação, os principais sinais corporais associados à menopausa, os sentimentos que emergiram com a chegada da menopausa e as práticas de autocuidado realizados nesta fase da vida. Metodologia: Esta pesquisa apresenta um delineamento qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório. Participaram do estudo dezesseis mulheres usuárias do SUS, na faixa etária dos 50 aos 89 anos de idade, que realizavam tratamento nos Grupos de Reabilitação do Assoalho Pélvico. As informações foram coletadas no período de novembro de 2007 a agosto de 2008, por meio de um questionário contendo questões abertas e da entrevista semi-estruturada. Os dados obtidos foram analisados, interpretados e categorizados de acordo com a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo preconizada por Bardin. Considerações finais: Para muitas das participantes, falar sobre a menopausa em suas vidas foi um resgate no passado, uma busca na memória cognitiva e corporal formas de descrever suas percpeções, as dificuldades enfrentadas, os sentimentos advindos com interrupção da menstruação, os sinais emitidos pelo corpo, as mudanças percebidas, o exercício da sexualidade, a medicalização de seus corpos e as intervenções que nele operaram e seus efeitos, como a realização da histerectomia. Para outras participantes, a menopausa ainda é uma vivência operante, desejada e temida, sem formas definidas, uma elaboração inacabada. No decorrer da vida feminina, corpo e menopausa se entrecruzam e se misturam, nas mais variadas sociedades e culturas, assumindo contornos e configurando inúmeras possibilidades de entrelaçamento, se construindo de acordo com os hábitos, estilos de vida e histórias pessoais de cada mulher. Sem deixar de ser feminina, de ser mulher, mas tornando-se sobretudo uma nova mulher.

Previous issue date: 2009-01-06O presente estudo buscou compreender a menopausa como um acontecimento determinado tanto por aspectos biol?gicos como s?cio-culturais, que imprimem marcas e demarcam a vida feminina, capturando a mulher em uma rede complexa de sentimentos e percep??es que envolvem seu corpo, sua sexualidade, sua sa?de e os cuidados consigo. Objetivos: Conhecer os significados constru?dos por mulheres usu?rias do Sistema ?nico de Sa?de (SUS) a respeito das marcas da menopausa inscritas em seus corpos e suas vidas. Verificou-se tamb?m o conhecimento que as mulheres tinham a respeito da menopausa, a viv?ncia de cada uma sobre os ciclos menstruais, como elas elaboraram a interrup??o da menstrua??o, os principais sinais corporais associados ? menopausa, os sentimentos que emergiram com a chegada da menopausa e as pr?ticas de autocuidado realizados nesta fase da vida. Metodologia: Esta pesquisa apresenta um delineamento qualitativo, descritivo e explorat?rio. Participaram do estudo dezesseis mulheres usu?rias do SUS, na faixa et?ria dos 50 aos 89 anos de idade, que realizavam tratamento nos Grupos de Reabilita??o do Assoalho P?lvico. As informa??es foram coletadas no per?odo de novembro de 2007 a agosto de 2008, por meio de um question?rio contendo quest?es abertas e da entrevista semi-estruturada. Os dados obtidos foram analisados, interpretados e categorizados de acordo com a t?cnica de An?lise de Conte?do preconizada por Bardin. Considera??es finais: Para muitas das participantes, falar sobre a menopausa em suas vidas foi um resgate no passado, uma busca na mem?ria cognitiva e corporal formas de descrever suas percpe??es, as dificuldades enfrentadas, os sentimentos advindos com interrup??o da menstrua??o, os sinais emitidos pelo corpo, as mudan?as percebidas, o exerc?cio da sexualidade, a medicaliza??o de seus corpos e as interven??es que nele operaram e seus efeitos, como a realiza??o da histerectomia. Para outras participantes, a menopausa ainda ? uma viv?ncia operante, desejada e temida, sem formas definidas, uma elabora??o inacabada. No decorrer da vida feminina, corpo e menopausa se entrecruzam e se misturam, nas mais variadas sociedades e culturas, assumindo contornos e configurando in?meras possibilidades de entrela?amento, se construindo de acordo com os h?bitos, estilos de vida e hist?rias pessoais de cada mulher. Sem deixar de ser feminina, de ser mulher, mas tornando-se sobretudo uma nova mulher.
