Description
Summary:This study aimed to determine the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and menopausal symptoms in women during the menopausal period. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. This study was completed with a total of 161 women who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected face-to-face using the Personnel Information Form, Menopause Symptom Assessment Scale, and Coronavirus 19 Phobia Scale. There is a slightly positive relationship between the social subscale of the COVID-19 fear scale and the somatic subscale of the menopause symptoms scale. There is a slightly positive relationship between the economic subscale of the COVID-19 scale and the psychological subscale of the menopausal symptoms scale. There is a slightly positive correlation between the total score of the total COVID-19 phobia scale and the somatic and psychological subscales of the menopause symptoms assessment scale. However, there is no significant relationship between the total score of the COVID-19 phobia scale and the total score and urological subscale of the menopause symptoms assessment scale. It has been determined that fear of COVID-19 is slightly positively associated with somatic and psychological complaints in menopausal women.
