Present situation and analysis of factors affecting perimenopausal syndrome among clinical nurses—a cross-sectional survey

Abstract

Background: The quality of life of women is seriously affected by perimenopausal symptoms and related diseases. Clinical nurses often suffer from job burnout due to high pressure and intensity of work and life, which is easy to induce and aggravate perimenopausal syndrome. Nursing occupational environment varies greatly in different economic regions, but relevant studies are limited to northern cities, and are often confined to the second and third grade hospitals or a hospital in a certain region, lacking multi-center studies on hospitals of different grades. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the occurrence of perimenopausal syndrome in clinical nurses in Chongqing and its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for managers to take targeted intervention measures. Methods:The investigation was conducted using the method of stratified random cluster sampling. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 933 clinical nurses aged from 40 to 55 in primary, secondary and tertiary hospitals. Kupperman's total symptom score ranged from 0 to 63, while a score of ≥7 can determine the existence of perimenopausal syndrome.Results: Among the 933 clinical nurses surveyed, 662 (70.95%) had perimenopausal syndrome, the results of the multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that The age ranges from 51 to 55

Prevalence of menopausal symptoms and attitudes towards menopausal hormone therapy in women aged 40–60 years: a cross-sectional study

We found that the incidence of menopausal-related symptoms in women who underwent physical examinations was high, but to a lesser extent; this was basically consistent with the results of Ding et al [ 20 ] study carried out in nurses but slightly lower than the results of Huang et al [ 18 ] survey carried out in menopausal clinics in Shanghai, which may be related to different cultural backgrounds, economic levels, and populations selected for the survey. The occurrence of menopausal symptoms differs in women in different regions: surveys in Cambodia have found that the most prevalent menopausal symptom is fatigue [ 21 ].…”

Positive affect and job performance in psychiatric nurses: A moderated mediation analysis

“…So, nurses with high work seniority are also older. Some scholars (Ding et al, 2022 ; Kurniawan et al, 2019 ) have pointed out that with the increase of age, various skill levels, especially those related to strength, speed, coordination and agility, will continue to decline over time, so psychiatric nurses with high work seniority are more prone to fatigue. At the same time, psychiatric nurses with high work seniority face the physical and mental pain of patients with mental disorders all year round in clinical work and maintain relatively high mental tension for a long time (Gunawan et al, 2019 ).…”
