Is there a correlation between personality traits and menopausal complaints in menopausal women?
Personality traits, specifically extroversion/introversion and emotional instability/neuroticism, are positively correlated with the severity of menopausal complaints in Turkish women.
PURPOSE: Aim is to investigate the correlation between personality traits of menopausal women and their menopausal complaints. DESIGN AND METHODS: This cross-sectional and correlation study was conducted with 400 menopausal Turkish women. FINDINGS: A positive correlation was determined between extroversion/introversion scores of Cervantes Personality Scale (CPS) and somatic and urogenital subscale scores of Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), and between emotional instability/neuroticism scores of CPS and all subscale scores of MRS. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Considering the effect of personality traits on menopausal symptoms, affected groups can be identified in advance and menopausal complaints can be reduced by increasing support.
