研究组 & 干预措施
progressive relaxation exercise
Progressive relaxation exercises combine deep breathing with the contraction and relaxation of muscle groups such as the hands, arms, upper arms, feet, lower legs and calves, hips, abdomen and lower back, chest, face, shoulders and back, neck, jaw, lips, eyes, and forehead. After taking a deep breath, the muscles are tensed, this tension is maintained for 5-10 seconds, and then the muscles are relaxed (10-20 seconds). When a muscle is tense, the deeper the tension, the deeper the relaxation will be when it is released. During the exercise, the individual is asked to continue breathing in slowly and deeply through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
干预措施: Progressive relaxation (Behavioral)
planned education
The topics covered in the educational content include: What menopause is, causes of menopause, factors affecting the onset of menopause, complaints during menopause, general symptoms of menopause, nutrition during menopause, sleep during menopause, emotional problems during menopause, and coping strategies.

结局指标
主要结局
Perceived Stress Scale
时间窗: Beginning
The scale consists of 10 items and is evaluated based on a total score. The scale is scored on a scale of 1-5. The total score ranges from 10 to 50, and an increase in the score indicates an increase in perceived stress level. The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
Beck Anxiety Scale
时间窗: Beginning
The scale ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 63 points. However, based on the scores obtained on the scale, patients' anxiety levels are classified as follows: 0-7 points is low, 8-15 points is mild, 16-25 points is moderate, and 26-63 points is high anxiety. A high score indicates that the individual is experiencing a high level of anxiety.The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
Menopause Symptom Assessment Scale
时间窗: Beginning
The scale consists of 11 items and 3 subscales. An increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the severity of complaints and, consequently, a negative impact on quality of life. The lowest possible score on the entire scale is 0, and the highest is 44.The scale is assessed before any training or relaxation exercises during the initial encounter with women.
