This study aimed to compare the climacteric symptoms, quality of life indices, and self-care attitudes in women before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
This cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2020 and September 2021. The sample consisted of 342 climacteric women who were divided into two groups: before the pandemic (BP group; n = 62) and during the pandemic (DP group; n = 280). The Menopause Rating Scale and Women's Health Questionnaire were used to measure the health-related quality of life and degree of climacteric symptoms reported by women.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, women were able to decrease their somatic symptoms derived from the climacteric period (BP group: 7.84 ± 4.46, DP group: 5.94 ± 9.20; = 0.003).
There was no worsening in the self-reported symptoms, quality of life, and self-care attitudes of climacteric women because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, only somatic symptoms decreased during the pandemic.
本研究旨在比较2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行之前和期间女性的更年期症状、生活质量指数和自我护理态度。
本横断面研究于2020年1月至2021年9月进行。样本包括342名更年期女性，她们被分为两组：大流行之前（BP组；n = 62）和大流行期间（DP组；n = 280）。采用更年期评定量表和女性健康问卷来测量女性报告的与健康相关的生活质量和更年期症状程度。
在COVID-19大流行期间，女性能够减轻更年期产生的躯体症状（BP组：7.84±4.46，DP组：5.94±9.20；P = 0.003）。
COVID-19大流行并未使更年期女性自我报告的症状、生活质量和自我护理态度恶化。此外，在大流行期间仅躯体症状有所减轻。
