“…Furthermore, our results also demonstrate that a woman’s marital harmony is not only associated with her sexual life. In this context, Sis and Pasinlioglu [ 12 ] showed that the level of marital adjustment decreased in line with the increase in menopausal symptoms suffered by women. Moreover, women’s age at marriage and total number of pregnancies were found to be significant factors that affect marital adjustment.…”

“…In a study by Sis et al . [ 12 ] it was proposed that marital adjustment levels were decreased in line with the increase in menopausal symptoms suffered by women. Although in this period the marriage partner can be accepted as a significant support, sexual dissatisfaction between couples can harm the sexual related quality of life in both individuals, and assistance from a health care professional may be needed.…”

IntroductionIdentifying and characterizing sexual dysfunction is crucial in order to improve the quality of the marital relationship in postmenopausal women. Regarding this, the present study aimed to determine the association of menopausal characteristics with sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment.Material and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 89 postmenopausal women chosen using an improbable randomized sampling method. A questionnaire that collects demographic characteristics, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) index were used to collect relevant data during the survey.ResultsThe mean age of postmenopausal women recruited to the present study was 54.6 ±6.7. The overall mean GRISS score and DAS score were 5.6 ±1.7 and 92.1 ±11.2 respectively. The mean GRISS scores were found to significantly increase as the ages of the women increased (p = 0.044). Mean DAS scores were lower in postmenopausal women that have menopause duration longer than 10 years (p = 0.035). Higher education level of the spouse is associated with lower GRISS scores (p = 0.024). No correlation was observed between marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction.ConclusionsAlthough sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment levels are decreased in the postmenopausal period, these two parameters do not seem to be related to each other. Multidimensional factors must be taken into account when evaluating sexual and marital satisfaction in postmenopausal women.

Introduction Communication skills help people have a better life. Due to the changes caused by menopause and their effects on interpersonal communication, it is essential to reinforce communication skills during this period. This study aimed to investigate the effect of communication skills training (CST) using the transactional analysis (TA) approach on menopausal women’s marital adjustment. Material and methods This quasi-experimental study with a parallel design was performed by the availability sampling method with participation of 46 married menopausal women. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups. The intervention group participated in eight CST sessions with a TA approach. The control group did not receive any psychosocial or educational services. Participants completed the demographic information, Queen Dam communication skills, and Spinner’s marital adjustment questionnaire before, at the end of, and one month after the training period. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical tests with SPSS22 software. Results There was no significant difference in demographics between the groups ( p < 0.05). The mean marital adjustment scores were 53.48 ±12.24, 117.70 ±11.15, and 116.52 ±10.73 before, at the end of, and one month after the intervention, respectively. The marital adjustment scores before the intervention did not differ between the two groups but significantly increased after training and in the follow-up period ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Communication skills training with a TA approach in postmenopausal women improves marital adjustment. Therefore, it is suggested that midwives use this method in comprehensive health centers as an effective method for improving the lives of postmenopausal women.
