An evaluation of the long term impact of a health education intervention in primary care, for premenopausal women (45 years of age), is presented. The intervention included information and group discussion about menopause, stress management, health behaviours (smoking, exercise, diet) and treatment choices. Questionnaires were sent to 86 women who had been randomised into two groups (prepared/control) and were now aged 50 (response rate 91%). The prepared group had significantly greater knowledge of menopause and attributed fewer symptoms to the menopause than the controls. There were no group differences in measures of general health or mood, but there was a tendency for the prepared group to report more interest in sexual activity. Subjective evaluation of the intervention was positive in terms of increasing knowledge and helping women to deal with the emotional and practical aspects of the menopause.
本文介绍了一项针对45岁绝经前女性在初级保健中进行的健康教育干预措施的长期影响评估。该干预措施包括有关更年期、压力管理、健康行为（吸烟、运动、饮食）和治疗选择的信息及小组讨论。向86名已被随机分为两组（干预组/对照组）且现年龄为50岁的女性发放了问卷（回复率91%）。干预组对更年期的了解明显多于对照组，且将更少的症状归因于更年期。在总体健康或情绪指标方面两组没有差异，但干预组报告对性活动更感兴趣的趋势。对该干预措施的主观评价在增加知识以及帮助女性应对更年期的情感和实际问题方面是积极的。
