The effect of nursing approaches applied according to Meleis’ Transition Theory on menopause-specific quality of life

This is a randomized controlled experimental study aimed to determine the effect of nursing approaches applied according to Meleis' Transition Theory on menopause-specific quality of life. The study participants consisted of 64 women. A personal information form and the menopause-specific quality-of-life (MENQOL) questionnaire were used to collect data. The MENQOL pretest mean score was 4.61 ± 1.00 in the experimental group and 4.57 ± 1.18 in the control group; post-test scores were 3.88 ± 1.10 and 4.81 ± 1.10, respectively. The nursing approaches applied in this study significantly reduced the MENQOL scores of women in the experimental group.
