Summary

Menopause is a natural cycle of life that mostly develops due to changes in the endocrine glands of the female body during middle age, and the menstrual cycle is permanently interrupted as a result of the ovaries losing their activity. Many symptoms are observed in women during menopause, and these symptoms cause women to experience many physiological, mental, social and sexual problems in the short or long term and to deteriorate their quality of life. In reducing the menopause symptoms experienced by women, hormone replacement therapy, traditional methods, mental or physical applications; aromatherapy, hypnosis, Biofeedback and relaxation techniques are used. The aim of these applications; is to relax women, reduce menopausal symptoms and increase their quality of life. Mandala, which has been widely used in the field of therapy in the past and today, is seen as a meditation tool in art therapy and is defined as a complementary, safe and accessible activity that supports mental health. It has been determined that how the mandala method, which is used in many areas in the literature, affects the symptoms and quality of life of women in the menopausal period has not been examined. For this reason, it is thought that this study will make a significant contribution to the literature.
