Pittsburgh Sleep QualityIndex questionnaire (PSQI questionnaire)V0(screening period), V2(week 4), V3(week 8)

Menopause-specific Quality of Life ScaleV0(screening period), V2(week 4), V3(week 8)

Assess anxiety level over the past two weeks. The evaluation adopts a 1-4 scoring system, where the scores of 20 questions are added together to obtain the total score. The total score is multiplied by 1.25 and rounded to the nearest whole number to obtain the standard score. The cut-off value of SAS standard score is 50 points, with a score of 50-59 indicating mild anxiety, 60-69 indicating moderate anxiety, and a score above 70 indicating severe anxiety.

The total score of CES-D is graded into three levels: asymptomatic(\<15), possible depressive symptoms(16-19), existed depressive symptoms(≥20)

Improved Kupperman scoreV0(screening period), V2(week 4), V3(week 8)

The total score of improved K score is graded into four levels: normal(\<7), mild(7-14), moderate(15-29), severe(\>30).
