Summary

Menopause; cessation of menstruation due to cessation of follicular activity is the transition from the reproductive period to non-reproductive life. Considering that the average life expectancy is increasing, women spend most of their lives in the menopausal period. Women who have a positive attitude towards menopause have a positive body image, experience less depressive experiences, and the severity of menopause symptoms decreases. It has also been assumed that spiritual well-being is effective in reducing the severity of menopause symptoms and anxiety, supporting positive body image, and coping with losses.

Baduanjin exercise is a type of body mind exercise. It increases the production of life energy and distributes it to different aspects of the body.

It is thought that the baduanjin body-mind exercise to be applied to perimenopausal women will have positive effects on the spiritual well-being of menopausal women and their attitudes towards menopause. Thus, it is expected that women's transition and adaptation to the menopause process will be easier.
