Menopause is one of the women’s lifespan conditions that increases the potentiality of developing multiple physical and psychological diseases. Thus, it exposes the women to many fears and pressures, mainly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to assess stressors and coping strategies among Egyptian menopausal women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to identify the associated menopause complaints stressors and the types of coping strategies among 126 university working women ages 40 to 60. Three tools were used: the demographic-characteristic, menopause rating scale, and coping with menopause symptoms questionnaires. Results: The most prevalent complaints were psychological stressors with a mean of 88.8 (70.5%), where fear of infection and death by COVID-19 was the most common problem (87.3%). Further, the most coping technique used by participants was protective measures with a mean of 82.2 (65.2%). There is a highly significant difference (p=0.001) with all coping strategies based on the women’s menopausal status. Conclusion and recommendations: The COVID-19 pandemic with menopause represents a significant burden on women at a critical time of their lives. Based on the results, it is essential to address the effectiveness of highly competent nursing care and support that includes effective coping strategies. Establishing and adopting nursing care guidelines that deal with stress and caring during this pandemic is highly recommended.

“…Estilo de vida relacionado a la autoactualización, desde la teoría de Nola Pender, debe comprenderse como aquello a lo que se desea llegar con relación al desarrollo del potencial humano, obtención de logros (29) . Este aspecto, las mujeres participantes en el estudio, se observaron con una fortaleza en cuanto a los aspectos relacionados con aceptarse y quererse a sí mismas, optimistas, satisfacción con el ambiente personal, situación que coincide con otros estudios similares, estos resultados coinciden con un estudio realizado en un grupo de mujeres peruanas donde se encontró que en su mayoría presentan una autoestima alta e igualmente se encontró en otro estudio que las mujeres optimistas, con estabilidad emocional, regulación emocional, autocompasión y autoestima presentan mejor salud mental para enfrentar este proceso de transición (30,31) .…”

“…The results of studies using the same tool to assess women’s self-esteem show that most women in Haiti over 45 years old had low self-esteem [ 24 ]. In Spain, about 35.6% of women reported low self-esteem [ 20 ], and in Switzerland, most menopausal women had moderate self-esteem [ 25 ]. Taken together, there are many unanswered questions regarding self-esteem in postmenopausal women.…”

Introduction: Physical inactivity has become one of the major public health and economic concerns in Western societies. The consequences of physical inactivity are associated with many physical problems, however, the influence of physical activity (PA) on psychological health is unclear. The aims of our study were to assess self-esteem and physical activity levels in postmenopausal women and to examine the association between physical activity levels and self-esteem in this group. Material and methods: Survey research was conducted on postmenopausal women aged M = 58.81 ± 7.68 in women’s health clinics in Silesia, Poland. The total number of participants was 131, and 18 were excluded. A questionnaire with socio-demographic data and other international questionnaires were used: International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Beck Depression inventory. Results: 78.76% of postmenopausal women were physically active. Mean value of MET-min/week was M = 1543.46 ± 1060.92. A total of 11.51% of women reported low self-esteem, with the mean total value of SES M = 31.79 ± 2.93. There was a lack of correlation between total IPAQ score and self-esteem (r = −0.241, p = 0.01). Conclusions: Postmenopausal women have mostly average self-esteem. They are generally active, and walking is the most common form of physical activity, however, a higher PA level does not influence self-esteem.
