Abstract

Background: Some studies have shown significant changes in QUALITY OF LIFE due to menopausal status. A large number of factors, including psycho-social factors, have been found to be associated with QUALITY OF LIFE. The aim of this study was to investigate factors affecting QUALITY OF LIFE among postmenopausal women in Isfahan, Iran, based on BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS phase of PRECEDE MODEL.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted through stratified sampling among 200 healthy postmenopausal women in Isfahan. Data were collected by two validated and reliable questionnaires (one for assessing QUALITY OF LIFE and one for assessing the factors based on BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS phase of PRECEDE MODEL). Inferential and descriptive statistics were used in SPSS18 to analyze the data.Findings: The mean age of respondents was 55.74±4.77 and the mean age at which MENOPAUSE had occurred was 50.20±3.56. While illiterate participants constituted 30.5% of the studied population, 5% were highly educated.81 percent of women were married and 90 percent were housewives. The majority of women were married (81%) and housewives (90%). Pearson correlation test indicated positive significant relationships between QUALITY OF LIFE and attitude toward MENOPAUSE, perceived self-efficacy, and enabling and reinforcing factors. However, there was no significant relationship between QUALITY OF LIFE and knowledge about MENOPAUSE. Finally, QUALITY OF LIFE was significantly associated with age, education level, employment and marital status.Conclusion: We believe that health care providers should provide women with information about MENOPAUSE and help them create support groups to adopt positive attitudes and healthy behaviors.
