Menopause is a very important period in the life of a woman due to the physiological and psychological changes which happen during this period. The authors apply an educational program providing integrated attention to women during this phase of their lives to evaluate possible improvements in the conflictive aspects which menopause generates. The authors carried out a longitudinal study with interventions before and after their study. The sample was a group of 28 women between the ages of 45 and 64. The educational intervention consisted of the application of a program providing integrated attention to women by the Generalitat Valenciana, the autonomous government in the Valencia Autonomous Region. This program had a positive influence on the knowledge and aptitudes of these women regarding this period of their lives. Their physical and psychological health improved, with a decrease in the most common symptoms caused by menopause and there were very significant differences found on the Kupperman test. The application of this program succeeded in relating the material taught to these women with a positive repercussion in their physical, psychological and social states during their climacteric years.
由于更年期期间会发生生理和心理变化，所以它是女性生命中的一个非常重要的时期。作者实施了一项教育计划，在女性生命的这一阶段为她们提供综合关怀，以评估更年期所产生的冲突方面可能得到的改善。作者在研究前后进行了干预，开展了一项纵向研究。样本是一组年龄在45岁至64岁之间的28名女性。教育干预包括由巴伦西亚自治区的自治政府巴伦西亚大区政府实施的一项为女性提供综合关怀的计划。该计划对这些女性关于她们生命中这一时期的知识和能力产生了积极影响。她们的身心健康得到改善，更年期最常见症状有所减少，并且在库珀曼测试中发现了非常显著的差异。该计划的实施成功地将传授给这些女性的内容与她们更年期期间在身体、心理和社会状态方面的积极影响联系起来。
