Abstract

Introduction Menopause is a unique stage of female reproductive life cycle, a transition from reproductive to non reproductive stage. It is characterized by cessation of menstruation and women may view menopause as a transition from middle age to old age. Some women may look upon this with pleasant anticipation as time of relative freedom from such worries as undesired pregnancies and the stress of child bearing. Many women may have fear during this period because of the anticipated losses. Thus women may be hesitant and ignore the unusual and hormonally related symptoms may go undetected resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Methodology In this pre experimental study, 60 menopausal women in the age group of 45 55 years were selected as the samples for the study by using non probability purposive sampling. The data was collected by using structured questionnaire on post menopausal symptoms. Data analysis were performed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. SPSS 17 software was used and P values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Result In the pre test mean =5.2, SD= .768 , majority of the menopausal women had inadequate knowledge regarding post - menopausal syndrome and in the post test mean= 9.12, SD=1.012 , majority of the menopausal women had moderate knowledge regarding post - menopausal syndrome. Discussion The result shows that there was improvement in knowledge regarding post - menopausal syndrome after implementation of structured teaching programme on post - menopausal syndrome which was calculated at 0.05 level of significance. So, it is concluded that the structured teaching programme on post - menopausal syndrome was effective to improve the knowledge of post menopausal syndrome among women.
