Menopausa

preditores da qualidade de vida
Authors: Fernández,Milagrosa; Costa,Eleonora;
Abstract

A menopausa é um período da vida da mulher associado a diversa sintomatologia, que pode influenciar a sua qualidade de vida. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar os preditores da qualidade de vida no período da menopausa e determinar as diferenças entre as mulheres no estádio da peri-menopausa e no estádio da pós-menopausa ao nível dos sintomas da menopausa, das representações da menopausa, da satisfação conjugal, das estratégias de coping, e da qualidade de vida física e psicológica. Participaram neste estudo 110 mulheres, na fase da menopausa, inscritas numa unidade de saúde do Norte de Portugal. Os resultados mostraram que apenas os sintomas da menopausa eram preditores de menor qualidade de vida física; por outro lado, o rendimento anual, a reinterpretação positiva e a satisfação conjugal foram preditores de maior qualidade de vida psicológica, e os sintomas da menopausa revelaram ser preditores de menor qualidade de vida psicológica. Ao nível das diferenças entre os estádios da menopausa em relação aos sintomas, representações da menopausa, satisfação conjugal, estratégias de coping e qualidade de vida física e psicológica, verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas apenas ao nível da utilização da religião como estratégia de coping, sendo que as mulheres que se encontram na pós-menopausa utilizam mais esta estratégia. Os resultados do presente estudo poderão servir de guia para elaboração de programas de prevenção e promoção da saúde na menopausa.

Menopause is a period of women’s life that is associated with diverse symptomatology, which can influence their quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of quality of life during menopause and to determine the differences between women in perimenopausal stage at the level of menopausal symtoms, representations of menopause, marital satisfaction, coping strategies, and quality of physical life and psychological. Participants were 110 women, in the menopause phase enrolled in a health unit in Portugal. The results showed that only menopausal symptoms were predictors of lower physical quality of life; conversely, annual income, positive reinterpretation and marital satisfaction were predictors of higher psychological quality of life, and symptoms of menopause have proven to be predictors of lower mental quality of life. At the level of differences between menopausal stages in relation to symptoms, representations of menopause, marital satisfaction, coping strategies and quality of physical and psychological life, statistically significant differences were found only at the level of the use of religion as a coping strategy, and women who are in postmenopausal use this strategy more. The results of the present study may serve as a guide for the elaboration of health prevention and promotion programs in menopause.
