Meleis' Transition Theory-Based Education and Counseling Program in Menopausal Women
The Effect of a Meleis' Transition Theory-Based Education and Counseling Program on Menopausal Symptoms, Perimenopausal Depression, and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life in Menopausal Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Meleis' Transition Theory-based education and counseling program on menopausal symptoms, perimenopausal depression, and menopause-specific quality of life among naturally menopausal women aged 45 to 55 years.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive a structured four-week education and counseling program based on Meleis' Transition Theory, supported by a secure online messaging group and follow-up counseling sessions. The control group will receive routine care and standard information during the study period and will be offered a one-day educational session after completion of the final assessment.
The outcomes will be measured at baseline and Week 16 using the Menopause Rating Scale, the Perimenopausal Depression Scale, and the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire-II.

Detailní popis
Menopause is a developmental life transition associated with biological, psychological, and social changes that may negatively affect women's health, well-being, and quality of life. During the menopausal transition, women may experience vasomotor symptoms, sleep disturbances, mood changes, depressive symptoms, urogenital symptoms, and difficulties in adapting to new life roles.
Meleis' Transition Theory provides a conceptual framework for understanding and supporting individuals during life transitions. The theory emphasizes the role of healthcare professionals in facilitating healthy transitions through education, counseling, support, and the strengthening of coping strategies.
This study is designed as a two-arm randomized controlled trial. The study population consists of naturally menopausal women registered at Dikmen Sokullu Mehmet Pasa Family Health Center, a primary healthcare institution affiliated with the Ankara Provincial Health Directorate in Turkey. A total of 114 women who meet the eligibility criteria and provide written informed consent will be recruited.
Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group using computer-generated simple randomization through Randomizer.org. To minimize bias, statistical analyses will be conducted by a blinded statistician.
Participants in the intervention group will receive a Meleis' Transition Theory-Based Education and Counseling Program. The program consists of four weekly face-to-face educational sessions lasting approximately 90 minutes each. In addition, a secure WhatsApp support group will be established exclusively for participants in the intervention group to provide motivational support and ongoing communication. Follow-up counseling and support meetings will also be conducted during the study period.
The educational content includes menopause and life transitions, facilitators and inhibitors of menopausal transition, physical, psychological, and social effects of menopause, menopausal symptoms, perimenopausal depression, quality of life, social support systems, coping strategies, and self-management skills.
Participants in the control group will receive routine care and standard information during the study period. After completion of the Week 16 final assessment, they will be offered a one-day educational session based on the intervention content.
Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline and Week 16. Data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, the Menopause Rating Scale, the Perimenopausal Depression Scale, and the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire-II.
