Abstract

Background: MENOPAUSE is a normal developmental transition happening as a result of aging in all women. During MENOPAUSE, women may experience certain physical, mental, social and psychological changes. Getting familiar with these changes and understanding their reasons would help women be better prepared to adapt themselves with the changes. Health education is one of the most important ways to empower women. Since the first step in any training is recognition and analysis of subject's KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE, the purpose of this study was to assess the KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE towards MENOPAUSE among premenopausal women.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 healthy, non-menopausal women aged 40-45 years attending urban primary health care centers. Subjects were selected based on stratified sampling.Written informed consents were obtained from all participants. Data was collected by a three-part questionnaire including demographic characteristics, questions to assess KNOWLEDGE, and ATTITUDE questions.The collected data were analyzed by Pearson correlation, independent t-test, Spearman correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) in SPSS.Findings: The results of this research showed the average scores of KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE to be 63.57±10.79 and 61.21±12.73, respectively. In this study, 8% of the subjects had poor, 68% moderate and 38.5% good KNOWLEDGE. Furthermore, 81.5% of women had positive ATTITUDE and 18.5% had negative ATTITUDEs towards MENOPAUSE. Pearson correlation showed an insignificant relationship between KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE. Spearman correlation showed KNOWLEDGE and ATTITUDE to be significantly related with economic status and level of education (P<0.001).Conclusion: Providing greater access to information and supporting women are essential steps in improving women's health during menopausal years.
