What this trial studies

This observational, cross-sectional study explores how physical and psychological menopausal symptoms and attitudes toward sexual myths are associated with intrinsic religious orientation among healthy women aged 49–59 in Konya, Turkey. Data are collected in person using a structured form, the Menopause Rating Scale, the Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale, and the Sexual Myths Scale, followed by multiple regression analysis. The aim is to see if symptom burden and myth attitudes help explain variations in intrinsic religious orientation. The study is descriptive and does not involve an intervention. Participants are volunteers who meet inclusion criteria and provide informed consent at a/facility in Konya.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of how menopause and cultural beliefs interact with spirituality to support coping.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests religious and spiritual factors can relate to coping during menopause, but this exact predictive relationship is relatively novel in this population.
