简要总结
Menopause is the time of life when menstrual cycles cease. Women typically spend 30-40% of their lives in menopause. Individual experiences of menopause vary and although some women do not experience any significant symptoms, common symptoms include vasomotor dysfunction, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep disturbances, urinary incontinence, cognitive changes, somatic complaints and sexual dysfunction. Reduced quality of life can occur as a result of these symptoms. A mobile app has been developed to reduce the impact of these symptoms using a variety of behavioral change techniques including education, goal setting, motivational enhancement, social support and cognitive behavioral approaches. Participants will complete self report assessments of women's symptoms and QOL at baseline, 3 weeks and 6 weeks of app use.
