Background There are several researches which indicated the effect of various variables on the severity of menopause symptoms in women. However, the role of self-knowledge, life satisfaction, psychological readiness, taste, aesthetic sense, self-efficacy and hope in women as an integrated model has been neglected. Menopause is a new period of women's life, in order to adapt and understand the changes resulting from it, the level of awareness and knowledge of women, family members and of course society should be increased. Considering the effects of variable dimensions of happiness on the severity of menopause symptoms, it seems that a more detailed examination of the psychological aspects of menopause is useful and important. This study was conducted with the aim of determining happiness and severity of menopausal symptoms in menopausal women referring to rural health centers in Saveh city.
Method: his descriptive By receiving the code of ethics on IR.IUMS.REC.1402.112 on 02/24/1402 as- analitical cross-sectional study was conducted in 1402, 440 postmenopausal women referred to rural health centers and health homes in Saveh city were selected by quota method with proportional allocation. Demographic information form, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and Heinemann et al. Menopause Symptoms Severity Questionnaire were completed by women participating in the research. In this study, half an hour of time was allocated for each participant, and full oral explanations were given on how to fill in the questionnaires. The participants filled out their questionnaires after receiving them, at home or in a private room, during fifty days, every ten days, and each time for 30 minutes, time was set to fill these questionnaires. After the given time, the questionnaires were collected. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistical methods, Pearson correlation tests and multivariate regression by spss24 software..
Results: The results showed that all articles have a positive and significant correlation with the severity of menopause symptoms. The research findings show that there was a negative and significant correlation between "happiness" and "menopause symptom severity" at the 0.01 level. (self-concept, p<0.001 and r=-0.338), (satisfaction with life, p<0.001 and r=-0.3), (mental readiness, p<0.001 and r=-0.286), (being in good taste, p<0.001 and r=-0.217), (aesthetic, p<0.001 and r=-0.296), (self-efficacy, p<0.001 and
r=-0.295), (Hopefully, p<0.001 and r=-0.204). Therefore, the hypothesis was zero and with 99% confidence, there was a negative and significant relationship between self-concept, life satisfaction, psychological readiness, enjoyment, aesthetic feeling, self-efficacy, and hope with the severity of menopausal symptoms in menopausal women. That is, as the severity of menopause symptoms increases, happiness also decreases..
Conclusion: It seems that happiness and its dimensions can play an effective role as a functional variable in the severity of menopause symptoms in women and their quality of life. As it turned out, happiness dimensions had a significant correlation with the severity of menopause symptoms. Considering the lack of sufficient studies in this field, in this research, the dimensions of happiness were investigated and its relationship with the severity of menopause symptoms was used. Therefore, the results of this study can be used in training to increase the level of happiness in menopausal women in order to effectively reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms and improve the lifestyle of these women in research environments. |
