Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the symptoms of anger and loneliness among women in the menopausal period.

Design and methods: A total of 200 women in the menopausal period were interviewed within the scope of this study. Descriptive Information Form, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to collect data.

Findings: The mean score of the UCLA Loneliness Scale was found as 53.61 ± 7.68 and it was observed that the participants had high traits of anger and a high-level of loneliness. Loneliness and anger increase when menopausal symptoms increase in women.

Practice implications: Menopause is generally perceived by women as a troublesome period instead of being a normal life process. In order for women to spend this period at a more comfortable and desirable level, it is important to know cultural characteristics, social support systems, coping mechanisms.

更年期症状与孤独、愤怒关系的比较

目的:本研究旨在探讨绝经期女性愤怒症状与孤独感的关系。设计与方法:在本研究范围内，共访谈200名绝经期妇女。采用描述性信息表、UCLA孤独量表、特质愤怒与愤怒表达量表和绝经期特定生活质量问卷进行数据收集。结果:被试的UCLA孤独量表平均得分为53.61±7.68分，具有较高的愤怒特征和较高的孤独特征。随着更年期症状的加重，女性的孤独感和愤怒感也会增加。实践启示:更年期通常被女性认为是一个麻烦的时期，而不是一个正常的生活过程。为了让女性在一个更舒适、更理想的水平上度过这段时间，了解文化特征、社会支持系统、应对机制是很重要的。
