“…Respondents in this study were noted to have severe menopausal symptoms with an average of 22.29 points, which was higher than those of previous studies involving postmenopausal women [31], or MT and postmenopausal women [32]. These previous studies, however, did not divide postmenopausal into early or late stages.…”

Purpose: Based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms (TOUS), this study aimed to examine the direct effect of antecedent factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its indirect effect via symptoms in Korean women during the late menopausal transition (MT) and early postmenopause.Methods: This cross-sectional survey employed a descriptive correlational research design. The respondents were 152 middle-aged women 40 to 60 years with an intermenstrual interval of 60 days or more (late MT) or less than 5 years from the last menstrual period (early postmenopause). The respondents were recruited through convenience sampling in Busan, Korea, from December 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021. Based on the TOUS, self-report data were collected on perceived health status, psychological distress, social support, menopausal symptoms, and HRQoL. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and the Hayes’ PROCESS macro.Results: TOUS was supported on this sample (n=152) of Korean women during the late MT and early postmenopause. Perceived health status, psychological distress, and social support had significant direct relationships with HRQoL. Menopausal symptoms had significant indirect relationships between antecedent factors (perceived health status, psychological distress, and social support) and partially mediated HRQoL.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that menopausal symptoms play an important role as an intervening factor of HRQoL in women during the late MT and early postmenopause. Therefore, women need an integrated program that manages antecedent factors and menopausal symptoms to improve HRQoL in these menopausal stages.

“…18,33 Adopting a healthier lifestyle involves symptom management on the basis of nutrition, physical activity, and stress management; these strategies can help patients to cope with symptom burden, thus reducing negative emotions. 34 In our study, social support also played a partial mediating role in the relationship between health-promoting behaviour and PD, accounting for 27.6% of the mediating effect. Previous studies suggested that perceived social support had a profound effect on physical and mental wellbeing.…”

Objective To investigate the relationship between health-promotion behaviour and psychological distress and whether menopausal symptoms and social support mediate these relationships in patients with breast cancer receiving endocrine therapy. Study design This was a cross-sectional study involving convenience sampling that involved 226 patients with breast cancer. Main outcome measures Participants were investigated by self-reporting questionnaires that included demographic and clinical information, the Kessler psychological distress scale, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ, the Menopause Rating Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Survey to measure psychological distress, health-promoting behaviour, menopausal symptoms, and social support, respectively. Mediation analyses were conducted with the bootstrapping method to test for mediating factors. Results In total, 78.7% patients reported that they were suffering from psychological distress. Their health-promoting behaviours were directly and negatively associated with psychological distress. In addition, health-promoting behaviour had a significant indirect effect on psychological distress through menopausal symptoms and social support. Mediating effects accounted for 34.8% and 27.6% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusions There was a high prevalence of psychological distress in patients with breast cancer receiving endocrine therapy. Menopausal symptoms and social support mediated the association between health-promoting behaviour and psychological distress. Health professionals should evaluate menopausal symptoms and health lifestyles, and provide professional interventions to increase health-promoting behaviours and manage unpleasant somatic symptoms for patients and their caregivers; these actions may improve their psychological distress.
