This cross-sectional study assessed the quality of life and related factors of Vietnamese women during perimenopause in terms of vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual aspects.
A cross-sectional study on 400 middle-aged women was conducted in Hung Yen, a delta province in Vietnam. Data about socioeconomic characteristics, daily activity patterns, quality of life in terms of vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual aspects, and level of social support were collected. Tobit multivariate regression model was used to identify factors related to the quality of life among participants.
The symptoms of perimenopause appeared to worsen with the increase of age and the existence of such health issues as migraine and diabetes. Meanwhile, exercises, recreational activities, and social support appeared to alleviate the negative impact of perimenopausal symptoms on women.
It is important to address the care needs of women during perimenopausal age, especially their sexual well-being, and development of specific healthcare services and programs focusing on sport, entertainment, and support for women in perimenopause should be facilitated.
本横断面研究评估了越南围绝经期女性在血管舒缩、心理社会、身体和性方面的生活质量及其相关因素。
在越南的一个三角洲省份——永福,对 400 名中年女性进行了一项横断面研究。收集了社会经济特征、日常活动模式、血管舒缩、心理社会、身体和性方面的生活质量以及社会支持水平等方面的数据。采用 Tobit 多元回归模型来确定与参与者生活质量相关的因素。
围绝经期症状似乎随着年龄的增长和偏头痛和糖尿病等健康问题的存在而恶化。同时,运动、娱乐活动和社会支持似乎减轻了围绝经期症状对女性的负面影响。
解决围绝经期女性的护理需求很重要,特别是她们的性健康,应制定专门的医疗保健服务和计划,重点关注运动、娱乐和支持围绝经期女性。
