Örneklemi, Türkiye'de menopoza girmiş ve menopozda beş yılını doldurmamış, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 286 kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler “Menopoz Semptomları Değerlendirme Ölçeği” ve “Koronavirüs Tükenmişlik Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırma kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ve çevrimiçi anketler kullanılarak elde edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalaması 51,17±4,69, menopoz yaşı 48,26±4,52 olup, Coronavirüs Tükenmişlik Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması; 31,16±9,04, Menopoz Semptomları Değerlendirme Ölçeği ise 23,17±6,07 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Coronavirüs Tükenmişlik Ölçeği ile Menopoz Semptomları Değerlendirme Ölçeği (r=0,212, p=0,000), Somatik Şikayetler Alt Boyutu (r=0,188, p=0,001) ve Psikolojik Şikayetler Alt Boyutu (r=0,222, p=0,000) toplam puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Pandemi döneminde kadınlarda korona virüse bağlı tükenmişlik ve menopoz semptomlarının şiddetinin ortanın üzerinde olduğu belirlendi. Coronavirüs nedeniyle tükenmişlik arttıkça menopoz semptomlarına ilişkin şikayetlerin de arttığı gözlendi.
