Abstract
Objective: Examined literature on coping behaviors of women with menopausal symptoms and/or menopausal disorders to clarify their current situation and to get advice for future undertakings. Methods: The subjects of the survey were from documents on coping behaviors of women with menopausal symptoms and menopausal disorders published in Japan during the period from 2000 to July 2022. The investigations were acquired from Japan Medical Abstracts Society, CiNii, PubMed, by mixing the keywords "menopausal symptoms" or "menopausal disorders" and "measures" or "self-care" or "self-administration" in Japanese. Ultimately, we obtained 10 cases from Japan Medical Abstracts Society and 5 cases from CiNii. We focused on 13 cases for this analysis. Results: As a result of analyzing the contents of coping behaviors of women with menopausal symptoms and menopausal disorders, 6 categories [Adjusting daily life behaviors], [Taking measures for the symptoms], [Adjusting in my own way], [Connecting to others], [Thinking optimistically] and [Doing nothing] consisting of 18 subcategories were obtained. Conclusion: Women reconciled positively with menopause by themselves, even though they had menopausal symptoms and menopausal disorders. In future endeavors, psychology education will be obtained by clarifying the process of reaching it, and the possibility of raising the well-being of menopausal women will be enhanced. It has been revealed that there are women adopting coping behaviors suitable for themselves, while there are women who are tolerant even if the symptoms are severe, or those who do not consult specialists for menopausal symptoms. We believe that the findings are useful for promoting the coping behaviors of women with menopausal symptoms and menopausal disorders and educating them to prevent aggravation and prolongation of symptoms by clarifying the reasons why they do not take action to relieve their menopausal symptoms.
