| Annotation | The purpose of this study was to describe the self-care strategies related to natural menopause used by menopausal women. The Self Care Responses Questionnaire (SCR) was completed by a convenience sample of 99 middle class, mostly white, married, employed women. The women used many self-care responses, which suggests that they were successful in their self care related to menopause. Strategies frequently used included "accept changes in my body", "have faith", "keep busy", "educated myself", and "accept as legitimate". The study concluded that the group seemed to view menopause as a developmental phase which they had integrated into their lives, consistent with a women's health perspective. |
