Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Menopause is a significant life event that can impact a woman\'s quality of life and mental health due to hormonal changes. Menopause education programmes play a crucial role in increasing awareness and knowledge about menopause in women. This rapid review aimed to identify the structure and components of menopause education programmes and summarise the evidence of their effectiveness in improving menopausal knowledge, symptoms, and quality of life.
METHODS: The Cochrane rapid review methodology was employed, involving systematic searches in four databases. The eligibility criteria included primary research on menopause education programmes for adults, and studies reporting menopause-related outcomes.
RESULTS: A total of 39 studies were included in the review, with most (n = 26/39, 66.7%) published in the last decade. The majority of interventions were delivered in group settings, providing advantages such as a supportive environment and shared experiences among participants. The most frequently covered topics included signs and symptoms of menopause, treatment/management, and lifestyle factors. The review identified evidence of effectiveness in supporting menopause education programmes for improving women\'s knowledge, symptoms, and quality of life. However, inconsistent reporting of intervention components hindered replication and implementation.
CONCLUSIONS: The review suggests the need for comprehensive reporting of interventions, and inclusion of premenopausal women, and recommends that future menopause education interventions are inclusive for all ages and abilities. Overall, studies included in this review support the use of menopause education programmes for improving women\'s understanding and management of menopause.
摘要:
背景:更年期是一种重要的生活事件,由于荷尔蒙的变化会影响女性的生活质量和心理健康。更年期教育计划在提高妇女对更年期的认识和知识方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这篇快速综述旨在确定更年期教育计划的结构和组成部分,并总结其在提高更年期知识方面的有效性的证据。症状,和生活质量。
方法:采用Cochrane快速审查方法,涉及四个数据库的系统搜索。资格标准包括成人更年期教育计划的初步研究,和报告更年期相关结局的研究。
结果:本综述共纳入39项研究,大多数(n=26/39,66.7%)是在过去十年发表的。大多数干预措施是在小组环境中进行的,提供诸如支持性环境和参与者之间共享经验等优势。最常涉及的主题包括更年期的体征和症状,治疗/管理,和生活方式因素。该综述确定了支持更年期教育计划以提高女性知识的有效性的证据,症状,和生活质量。然而,干预组成部分的不一致报告阻碍了复制和实施。
结论:审查表明,需要对干预措施进行全面报告,并纳入绝经前妇女,并建议未来的更年期教育干预措施对所有年龄和能力都具有包容性。总的来说,纳入本综述的研究支持使用更年期教育计划来提高女性对更年期的理解和管理。
