Abstract

Background and Aim: The quality of life of millions of women due to menopause symptoms is degraded. Hormone replacement therapy can relieve vasomotor symptoms, decrease LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduce some coronary heart disease risk factors, and not only offsets bone loss but also improves physical fitness.

Materials and Methods: In this descriptive and analytic study 295 menopausal women from the nine areas of Birjand, under the supervision of qualified questioners, answered a questionnaire including demographic questions and special questions concerning their knowledge, attitude, and practice with respect to post-menopause HRT. Then the data was analyzed by SPSS software x2 and logistic regression tests. Result: Mean age of the cases was 58.7 year, 5.4% were employers, 79.9% were illiterate, 62.7% thought that menopause has complications, 60.7% were worried about menopause and the most important complication was menopausal flash according to 34.9% of them 65.8% had no problem with menopause, 57.7% of whom gained their satisfaction through praying in 88.5% of cases HRT was not done, 70.1% of which was due to lack of knowledge. Mean score of knowledge was 3.63±2.43 (out of 12) and mean score of attitude was 2.29±1.11 (out of 9) both of which showed a low state. There was a significant relationship between education and knowledge and between knowledge and attitude as well.
