The goal of this project was to identify the educational needs of menopausal women and test the feasibility of an online self management program based on social learning theory.
The four stages included 1) a needs assessment using a) focus groups with 24 women ages 40 to 55 and b) phone interviews with eight health experts; 2) the use of concept mapping methodology for quantifying qualitative data from stage 1 to identify the core programmatic concepts; 3) development of a demonstration program; and 4) a pilot study with 35 women and 9 health experts to assess knowledge gained and program satisfaction.
Results show that women desire more information about normalcy of menopause and symptom management and found the program to meet a need for menopausal education otherwise perceived as unavailable. The women significantly increased their menopausal knowledge after brief exposure (t(34) = 3.64; p = .001).
This project provides support for an online health education program for menopausal women and content ideas for inclusion in women's health education curriculum.
本项目旨在确定围绝经期妇女的教育需求，并测试基于社会学习理论的在线自我管理方案的可行性。
该项目分四个阶段进行，包括：1）使用 a）24 名 40 至 55 岁女性的焦点小组和 b）8 名健康专家的电话访谈进行需求评估；2）使用概念映射方法对第 1 阶段的定性数据进行量化，以确定核心方案概念；3）开发示范方案；4）对 35 名女性和 9 名健康专家进行试点研究，以评估获得的知识和对方案的满意度。
结果表明，女性希望获得更多关于围绝经期正常性和症状管理的信息，且发现该方案满足了对围绝经期教育的需求，否则这方面的教育被认为是无法获得的。女性在短暂接触后显著提高了围绝经期知识（t(34) = 3.64；p =.001）。
本项目为围绝经期妇女提供了在线健康教育方案，并为妇女健康教育课程提供了内容思路。
