Menopause is a special stage in a woman's life, but no safe clinical treatment exists against menopausal symptoms. To analyze the effect of the information support method combined with yoga exercise on the depression, anxiety, and sleep quality of menopausal women.
From June 2019 to December 2019, menopausal women who were newly recruited in three yoga clubs in three cities in East China were selected as the participants by convenience sampling. A total of 52 women were in the experiment group and 54 were in the control group. In 24 weeks, the experiment group engaged in yoga exercise for 60 minutes each time, three times a week. They group was given professional positive psychological information support at the same time. The Kupperman Menopausal Symptom Distress Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used before the experiment, three months into the experiment, and six months into the experiment to monitor the intervention effect on the participants.
After the intervention, the symptoms of distress among menopausal women in the experiment group and the Kupperman score of the experiment group reduced significantly. Repeated measures of analysis of variance were conducted in the two groups (P<0.001). After the intervention, the depression score of the experiment group decreased significantly. A significant difference was found between the two groups in repeated measures analysis of variance in the SDS score (P<0.001). After the intervention, the anxiety score of the experiment group reduced significantly, and repeated measures of analysis of variance in the SAS score were conducted in the two groups (P<0.001). After the intervention, the sleep quality of the experiment group improved, and repeated measures of analysis of variance in sleep quality were conducted in the two groups (P<0.001).
The information support method combined with yoga exercise can alleviate the depression and anxiety of menopausal women, improve their sleep quality, and reduce their symptoms of menopausal distress.
绝经是女性生命中的一个特殊阶段，但目前尚无针对绝经症状的安全临床治疗方法。本研究旨在分析信息支持方法结合瑜伽锻炼对绝经妇女抑郁、焦虑和睡眠质量的影响。
本研究采用便利抽样的方法，选取 2019 年 6 月至 12 月在华东地区 3 个城市的 3 个瑜伽俱乐部招募的新绝经女性作为研究对象。共 52 名女性进入实验组，54 名女性进入对照组。在 24 周内，实验组每次瑜伽锻炼 60 分钟，每周 3 次。同时，该组接受专业的积极心理信息支持。在实验前、实验 3 个月和实验 6 个月时，使用 Kupperman 绝经症状困扰量表、自评抑郁量表（SDS）、自评焦虑量表（SAS）和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）监测干预对参与者的影响。
干预后，实验组和对照组的绝经妇女困扰症状和 Kupperman 评分均明显减轻。对两组进行重复测量方差分析（P<0.001）。干预后，实验组的抑郁评分明显下降，两组在 SDS 评分的重复测量方差分析中存在显著差异（P<0.001）。干预后，实验组的焦虑评分明显下降，两组在 SAS 评分的重复测量方差分析中存在显著差异（P<0.001）。干预后，实验组的睡眠质量提高，两组在睡眠质量的重复测量方差分析中存在显著差异（P<0.001）。
信息支持方法结合瑜伽锻炼可以减轻绝经妇女的抑郁和焦虑，改善睡眠质量，减轻绝经症状困扰。
