Detaljerad beskrivning

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an avatar-based education and counseling program designed to increase spousal support during menopause. The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design.

Participants will consist of menopausal women and their spouses. Eligible couples will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured avatar-based education and counseling program delivered online in four sessions, while the control group will receive routine care without additional intervention.

The intervention program focuses on improving knowledge about menopause, enhancing communication and empathy skills, and promoting supportive behaviors among spouses. The program is developed based on prior qualitative findings and relevant literature.

Data will be collected at baseline (pre-test), immediately after the intervention (post-test), and during follow-up assessments at 1, 2, and 3 months. Primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated using validated measurement tools.

The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed by comparing changes in outcomes between the intervention and control groups over time.
