简要总结
This study was conducted to examine the effect of an education program based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model on the level of hot flashes, overall menopausal symptoms, and quality of life in women experiencing hot flashes during the menopausal period.
The study consisted of an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received a structured education program based on the IMB Model, while no education, counseling, or care intervention was provided to the control group. Both groups were assessed at baseline, and at the 1st and 3rd months following the intervention.
It is expected that the findings obtained from this study will demonstrate the effectiveness of IMB Model-based education in the management of menopausal vasomotor symptoms and contribute to the development of evidence-based nursing practices for women during the menopausal period.
