Effects of Mindfulness-Based Self-Efficacy Development Program on Postmenopausal Women

Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based self-efficacy development program on menopausal symptoms and quality of life in postmenopausal women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the mindfulness-based program reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms?

Does the mindfulness-based program improve the quality of life of postmenopausal women?

Does the mindfulness-based program significantly increase participants' overall self-efficacy?

The researchers will compare whether there are differences between the mindfulness-based training program applied to the intervention group and the control group in terms of menopausal symptoms, quality of life, and self-efficacy scores.

The main tasks that will be asked of the participants are as follows:

Those in the intervention group will participate in a face-to-face mindfulness-based self-efficacy development program, each session lasting at least 120 minutes, once a week for 8 weeks, with a maximum of 10 people per group.

The control group will not receive any intervention.

Participants in both groups will be evaluated with a personal information form and measurement tools such as the Menopause Symptoms Assessment Scale, the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Scale, and the General Self-efficacy Scale.

Mindfulness-Based Self-Efficacy Development Program

"Mindfulness-Based Self-Efficacy Development Program" is a unique intervention model that integrates mindfulness-based practices with self-efficacy theory, structured for postmenopausal women. With the implementation of this research, a holistic and evidence-based intervention model will be presented for physical, psychological and social problems frequently encountered in the postmenopausal period. This program processes mindfulness-based skills such as observing thoughts, body awareness, regulating emotions, coping with stress and developing self-compassion in the axis of self-efficacy development with 8-week structured sessions. In this context, it is anticipated that the study will contribute to scientific knowledge and practices. In addition, the "Mindfulness-Based Self-Efficacy Development Program" developed in the study aims not only at symptom management, but also at increasing the individual's perception of control over their own lives, recognizing their internal resources and
