About this trial

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness-based self-efficacy development program on menopausal symptoms and quality of life in postmenopausal women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the mindfulness-based program reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms?

Does the mindfulness-based program improve the quality of life of postmenopausal women?

Does the mindfulness-based program significantly increase participants' overall self-efficacy?

The researchers will compare whether there are differences between the mindfulness-based training program applied to the intervention group and the control group in terms of menopausal symptoms, quality of life, and self-efficacy scores.

The main tasks that will be asked of the participants are as follows:

Those in the intervention group will participate in a face-to-face mindfulness-based self-efficacy development program, each session lasting at least 120 minutes, once a week for 8 weeks, with a maximum of 10 people per group.

The control group will not receive any intervention.

Participants in both groups will be evaluated with a personal information form and measurement tools such as the Menopause Symptoms Assessment Scale, the Menopause Specific Quality of Life Scale, and the General Self-efficacy Scale.
