The Effect of Value Clarification Based on Meleis's Transition Theory on Menopausal Symptoms, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Quality of Life in Perimenopausal Women

6. maj 2026 opdateret af: Neslihan KAZAK SALTAN, Ordu University

Menopause is a life stage influenced not only by hormonal factors but also by psychological, social, and cultural factors. Symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep problems, and mood changes may occur, and their severity depends on how a woman perceives and copes with this period.

The study aims to examine the effects of the "Value Clarification" method based on Meleis Transition Theory on menopausal symptoms, depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life in women during menopause.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Menopause is a unique life event in a woman's life, influenced not only by physiological or hormonal factors, but also by cultural, psychological, and social factors. These changes that occur in a woman's life during menopause affect her quality of life, life satisfaction, and happiness.

Menopause is associated with vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, musculoskeletal problems, sleep disturbances, urogenital changes, dyspareunia, sexual dysfunction, and mood swings. The number, severity, and impact of these symptoms on a woman's life depend on how she copes with this special period. A woman's perspective on the process is influenced by many factors. Being prepared for this period, not viewing it as the end of womanhood, and being aware of her own worth will reduce the degree to which she is negatively affected by menopause. Studies show that women who develop a positive attitude towards menopause experience milder symptoms. It can be said that there are limitations in the current system of care for the menopausal process in terms of changing the lack of information and negative perspectives on menopause.

In this context, this study aimed to examine the effects of Value Clarification, based on Meleis Transition Theory, on perimenopausal women's menopausal symptoms, depression, anxiety, stress levels, and menopause-specific quality of life.

Tidsramme
Change in menopausal symptoms measured by the Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale
Tidsramme: 0-6 month
The value explanation method based on transition theory improves menopausal symptoms in women when applied to perimenopausal women. The Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale was developed to measure the severity of menopausal symptoms. The scale, adapted into Turkish, consists of 11 items and 3 sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions are somatic complaints (items 1, 2, 3, and 11), psychological complaints (items 4, 5, 6, and 7), and urogenital complaints (items 8, 9, and 10). The Likert-type scale, which includes menopausal complaints, uses the options: 0: None, 1: Mild, 2: Moderate, 3: Severe, and 4: Very severe. The total score is calculated from the scores obtained from each item. The lowest possible score is "0," and the highest is "44." An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the severity of complaints and a negative impact on quality of life.

Tidsramme
Change in menopause-specific quality of life measured by the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL)
Tidsramme: 0-6 month

Value clarification based on transition theory given to perimenopausal women improves their menopause-specific quality of life.

The scale, originally called the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, was developed to assess the extent to which menopausal symptoms affect women's quality of life. The Turkish adaptation of is a Likert-type scale containing 29 questions. The scale consists of four sub-dimensions: Vasomotor (questions 1-3), Psychosocial (questions 4-10), Physical (questions 11-26), and Sexual (questions 27-29). Participants rate each symptom on a scale of 0-6, indicating its presence or absence. "NO" indicates the absence of the symptom, "PRESENT" or a score of 0 indicates the presence of the symptom, and a score of 1-6 indicates the severity and increasing degree of the existing problem.
0-6 month
Changes in depression, anxiety, and stress levels that may be caused by mood swings during menopause were measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21.
Tidsramme: 0-6 month

Depression, anxiety, and stress levels will be assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, a validated self-report questionnaire consisting of 21 items divided into three subscales: depression, anxiety, and stress (7 items each).

Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3), where higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Subscale scores are calculated by summing the relevant items, with possible scores ranging from 0 to 21 for each subscale.

Severity thresholds are defined as follows:

Depression: ≥14 indicates very severe depression Anxiety: ≥10 indicates very severe anxiety Stress: ≥17 indicates very severe stress
