详细描述
Menopause is a biological transition that may affect women physically, psychologically, and socially. Misconceptions regarding menopause may negatively influence adaptation to this period, while positive coping may support posttraumatic growth.
Motivational interviewing is a client-centered counseling approach designed to strengthen intrinsic motivation and promote positive behavioral change. This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the effect of motivational interviewing on menopause myths and posttraumatic growth in postmenopausal women.
The study will be conducted in Family Health Centers in Gaziantep, Turkey, with 96 postmenopausal women randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive four weekly face-to-face motivational interviewing sessions lasting 30-45 minutes. The control group will receive usual care without intervention.
Data will be collected at baseline and after intervention using the Menopause Myths Scale and the Posttraumatic Growth Scale.
