- Abstract >
<p>Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life associated with physiological and psychological changes, making knowledge about lifestyle modifications essential for maintaining health and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to measure menopausal women's pre-test knowledge about lifestyle modification, assess the efficacy of health-promoting lifestyle modification education, and investigate the relationship between pre-test knowledge and specific demographic characteristics. The study was carried out in the Kanpur villages of Kukeradev and Bhawanipur using a convenient sample of sixty menopausal women using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test methodology. A knowledge evaluation tool and a structured demographic questionnaire were used to gather data. According to pre-test results, most women had insufficient knowledge (38/60), but posttest results showed a significant improvement, with the majority of women attaining enough knowledge (40/60). The efficiency of the educational program was demonstrated by the paired t-test, which showed a substantial increase in knowledge after the intervention (pre-test mean = 11.65, post-test mean = 23.35, t = 25.89, p < 0.0001). Pre-test knowledge and demographic factors did not significantly correlate, according to chi-square analysis. The study concludes that health-promoting lifestyle modification education is highly effective in enhancing knowledge among menopausal women and highlights the critical role of nurses in providing structured health education to improve awareness, encourage healthy behaviors, and promote overall well-being during menopause</p>
