Abstract
To describe the general characteristics of nursing professionals and assess the influence of overcommitment on perceived climacteric symptoms and on the quality of life of nursing professionals. A cross-sectional, analytical study of 152 nursing auxiliaries and assistants aged 40 years or older was conducted at 3 hospitals in the interior of São Paulo state. Sociodemographic data were collected and the Blatt-Kupperman Menopausal Index, Women´s Health Questionnaire, Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey and Effort-Reward Imbalance were applied in 2017. A descriptive analysis was performed and network analysis was carried out. Participants had a mean age of 50.23 years (SD ±7.1). Group 1 comprising 61 (40.1%) women with overcommitment had poorer quality of life as well as more severe climacteric symptoms. Presence of overcommitment seems to influence the negative perception of climacteric symptomatology and quality of life.
