dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the menopausal symptoms and sleep quality in women in the climacteric period. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 383 women aged 40-64 years at the Cancer Early Diagnosis Screening and Training Centre. The data were collected with the questionnaire form, Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The sleep quality was poor in 77.8% of the women in the study. A significant relationship was found between PSQI scores and the somatic and psychological subscale scores of the MRS in the presence of other variables that could affect sleep according to multiple linear regression analysis (p < .05). We recommend training and consulting services provided by health care professionals and further experimental studies on the subject to decrease the negative effects of the somatic and psychological symptoms found to worsen sleep quality in women in the climacteric period.IMPACT STATEMENT What is already known on this subject? Sleep problems are a common health problem in women in the climacteric period. What do the results of this study add? The most common menopausal symptoms were joint and muscle problems, physical and emotional fatigue, nervousness, hot flushes, unhappiness, anxiety, and sleep problems in order of frequency. There was a weak positive significant relationship between the total PSQI score and the psychological and urogenital subscale scores of the MRS, in addition to a moderate positive significant relationship between the total PSQI scores and the total and somatic subscale scores of the MRS. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? We believe effective management of the somatic and psychological symptoms during the climacteric period with health care staff providing training and consultancy services to the women aimed at decreasing the symptoms according to evidence-based procedures could help improve the sleep quality. Conducting multicenter studies with a larger subject group where the effect of menopausal symptoms on sleep quality in addition to that of multifactorial causes are evaluated in depth is recommended.
