Effectiveness of Multimodal Intervention on the Knowledge, Symptoms, Quality of Life, and Health-Seeking Behavior Among Nuns at Menopausal Age |
|
| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Introduction: Menopause is a critical phase in a woman's life, associated with various physical and psychological changes. Many women experience menopausal symptoms, which are not life-threatening but self-recovering. Investigating the effectiveness of multimodal interventions can contribute to understanding how to enhance the health and well-being of menopausal nuns.
Objective: To assess the knowledge on menopause, analyze the symptoms, understand the health-seeking behavior, describe the quality of life, and evaluate the effect of a multimodal intervention on knowledge, symptoms, health-seeking behavior, and quality of life among menopausal-age women.
Materials and Methods: A quantitative, pretest-posttest experimental study was conducted among 78 nuns of menopausal age residing in selected convents in Kottayam District, India, through an enumeration sampling technique. These respondents were divided into experimental (n= 39) and control (n=39) groups. The study tools used were a sociodemographic proforma, a structured knowledge questionnaire on menopause, a modified menopause rating scale, and a modified 5-point scale on the Utian quality of life (UQOL) scale and health-seeking behavior of women at menopausal age. Multimodal intervention includes a booklet on menopause and a video on pranayama and relaxation techniques. Descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage and inferential statistics consisted of Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, Spearman rank correlation, and One-way MANCOVA were used to analyze the obtained data.
Results: The study's findings showed that most participants (48.7%) were in the age group of 54-58 years in the experimental and 45-48 in the control group. There was significant improvement in the knowledge score (P=0.01) as well as in the quality of life (P=0.01) and the menopausal symptoms (P=0.01). Hence, the multimodal interventions effectively improved the quality of knowledge of life and reduced menopausal symptoms. However, the multivariate analysis of covariance did not reveal a significant effect of the intervention on the dependent variables.
Conclusion: Knowledge of women at menopausal age about menopause was low, and experience of menopausal symptoms was more. There is a need to educate menopausal women to improve their knowledge, reduce the symptoms experienced, and maintain a good quality of life and health-seeking behavior. |
