Bir Eğitim Programının Menopoz Bilgi Düzeyine Etkisi

Year 2021, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 158 - 165, 17.11.2021

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir eğitim programının menopoza ilişkin belirti ve tutumların bilgi düzeyine etkisini belirlemektir. Yöntemler: Anket formları ve sağlık ölçekleri, eğitim programı öncesi ve sonrasında yaşları 40-65 arasında değişen 36 kadına doldurulmuştur. Bu eğitimin ardından kadınların kendi kendine meme muayenesi (KKMM) ve kendi kendine vulva muayenesi (KKVM) yapmaları teşvik edildi. Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 50.66±4.45, ortalama menopoz yaşı 47.60±3.45 idi. En sık tanımlanan semptom yorgunluktu (%91,7). Eğitim sonrasında Menopoz Semptomlarını Değerlendirme ölçeği ve PUKİ puanının düştüğü, Yaşam Kalitesi (SF-36) ölçeği puan ortalamasının arttığı görüldü. Tüm bu değişiklikler istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı. Kadınların eğitim sonrası yaptıkları KKMM ve KKVM sonucunda, kadınların %5.6'sında meme deformitesi, %8.3'ünde memede ele gelen kitle, %13,9'unda vulva muayenesinde vajinal akıntı tespit edildi (p<0.05). Sonuç: Başta hemşireler olmak üzere sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından hazırlanan ve verilen özel eğitim programları ile menopozun atlatılması daha kolay hale getirilebilir. Sonuç olarak, kadınlar semptomlarla daha etkili bir şekilde baş edebileceklerdir.

The Effect of an Educational Program on the Knowledge Level of Menopause

Year 2021, Volume: 2 Issue: 3, 158 - 165, 17.11.2021

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an educational program on the knowledge level of symptoms and attitudes about menopause. Methods: The questionnaire forms and health scales were completed by 36 women aged between 40 and 65 years before and after the education program. Following this education, women were encouraged to perform a self-examination of breasts (SEB) and self-examination of the vulva (SEV). Results: The mean age of the women was 50.66±4.45 and that the mean menopause age was 47.60±3.45. The most frequently described symptom was fatigue (91.7%). It was seen after the training that the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the PSQI score decreased and the mean Quality of Life (SF-36) scale score increased. All these changes were statistically significant. As a result of SEB and SEV performed by the women after the education, it was found that 5.6% of the women had a breast deformity, 8.3% had a palpable mass in the breast, and that 13.9% detected vaginal discharge in the vulva examination (p<0.05). Conclusion: Menopause could become easier to overcome with specific educational training programs prepared and given by health professionals, especially nurses. As a result, women will be able to cope with symptoms more effectively.
