In this article I revisit the results of research completed in the mid-1990s and recently reviewed with women's updated input. The basic social process named "changing focus" that women use as they negotiate the perimenopausal transition is discussed. This process consists of five parts: monitoring the voice of the woman within, listening to the voices of others, integrating the wisdom, nourishing the woman within, and becoming a wise woman. In view of continuing discoveries pertaining to the effects of symptom management treatments on perimenopausal women's health, this process continues to provide guidance for women and providers.
在本文中，我回顾了20世纪90年代中期完成的研究结果，最近又结合了女性最新的反馈进行了审视。文中讨论了女性在经历围绝经期过渡时所采用的名为“转变关注点”的基本社会过程。这个过程包括五个部分：倾听内心女性的声音、聆听他人的声音、整合智慧、滋养内心的女性以及成为智慧女性。鉴于在症状管理治疗对围绝经期女性健康影响方面不断有新发现，这个过程继续为女性及其医疗服务提供者提供指导。
