Book Description
Problem: Postmenopausal women were commonly prescribed hormone replacement therapy, thought to be cardio-protective, when the 2002 results of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) reported increased risks of coronary artery disease, stroke, and breast cancer. Since then, menopausal women have been concerned and confused about the use of hormones and often choose no hormone therapy or seek alternative treatments options because they are ill informed. Researchers have shown that women who have menopause knowledge, positively correlated with positive attitudes regarding menopause. Purpose and Scope: The purpose of this study was to describe attitudes toward menopause in a selected faith-based community women's ministry before and after an educational program regarding menopause. Goal: The goal of this project was to educate 45 to 65 year old women about the common changes women experience in menopause and the current treatment options available. This education will increase their knowledge of menopause thus improving their attitudes and perceptions regarding menopause. Objectives: First, to describe demographic characteristics of women within a selected faith-based community women's ministry. Second, to describe pre-intervention self-awareness regarding attitudes toward menopause by women within a selected faith-based community women's ministry. Third, to describe post-intervention self-awareness regarding attitudes toward menopause by women within a selected faith-based community women's ministry. Fourth, to measure changes in a self-awareness attitudes toward menopause before and after an educational intervention. Plan: Phase One: Conducted a needs assessment by evaluating current evidence regarding menopause, women's perceptions of menopause and recommended treatment options. Phase Two: Developed an educational intervention regarding menopause and current recommended treatment options. Phase Three: Implemented an evidence based menopause education intervention for a projected sample. Phase Four: Evaluated women's attitudes toward menopause before and after an educational intervention using the Attitude Toward Menopause. Outcomes and Results: Using a triangulated interventional research design, results of the pre-intervention and post-intervention measures revealed a modest mean score increase in self-awareness attitudes toward menopause in women within a selected faith-based community women's ministry. Moreover, reliability estimates based on internal consistency for the study instrumentation achieved significance, as compared with previous demonstrated reliability by Battistoni.

Book Description
"In Menopause: A Midlife Passage, [questions about menopause] are considered in depth from a dazzling variety of angles. This is just the serious feminist discussion of menopause that I have been longing for.... its exquisite analyses renew us in our struggles to make sense of it all." -- Alice Dan, Women's Review of Books "Menopause has become a hot (with or without the flashes) topic in America. That's because a critical mass of us have reached it and are educated, aggressive, and confident enough to want to know what's happening to us, and then to talk about it.... Smart, useful, funny, Menopause: A Midlife Passage is a fine addition to the discussion, a healthy companion for this all-important life passage." -- Susan Stamberg, Special Correspondent, National Public Radio "Editor Callahan takes anything but a trendy approach to a very trendy topic. She's gathered essays by scholarly women who have thought through society's position on menopause and menopausal women and don't like what they see: older women denied positive portrayals in mainstream media, menopause treated by the medical establishment as if it were a disease rather than a natural occurrence, and devaluation of older women. Determined to change people's minds with their words, these women speak both powerfully and empoweringly. A must for feminist and women's health collections." -- Booklist "... a bold attempt to go beyond the standard medical framing of women's experience, and to contest the notion that the menopause is straightforwardly a hormonal 'deficiency disease'." -- New Scientist "... [an] entertaining and informative book that takes a very positive attitude toward the 'midlife passage'." -- Fertility News "This book should be required reading for all women's health care providers and anyone else doing counseling of menopausal women." -- Journal of Women & Aging Essayists from various walks of life present female-defined perspectives on menopause and the passage to new physical, social, and cultural development.

Menopause, Me and You

Category : Medical

Pages : 417
Book Description
Menopause, Me and You will help you put menopause in proper perspective--as a normal and natural developmental process in the lives of women, not as a disorder or state that causes disease. This informative book gives you self-monitoring tools for collecting information and monitoring changes in your body during menopause. These tools will also help you understand the dynamics of the change process. A guideline as to how to best use this information when interacting with care providers--especially those who view menopause as a disorder to be treated--is also included. Menopause, Me and You is filled with information-gathering tools, scientific facts, and stories from the true “experts” on menopause--the women themselves who have experienced or are experiencing menopause. In chapter after chapter, you’ll gain valuable information for viewing menopause from a woman-centered perspective. Specifically, the book includes: detailed information on conception and fertilization, reconceptualizing these events from a woman-centered, feminist perspective a description and reconceptualization of the menstrual cycle and menstruation, providing the knowledge base--the physiological, endrocrinological, and biochemical mechanisms that regulate the menstrual cycle and menstruation--to understand menopause as the closure of menstrual life and not the end of life a journey into the steroid hormone target cell--shows, at a scientific level, that women were genetically programmed to end the production of reproductive hormones a description and clarification of some of the terms used to describe menopause common menopausal changes and diseases attributed to being estrogen-deficient tools for gathering information, for “discovering knowledge,” about yourself--a menstrual calendar card, hot flash body diagrams, a basal body temperature record, a body composition record, a menstrual bleeding scale, and factors to consider when choosing a care provider The women who share their experiences in Menopause, Me and You represent women at various stages of menopause. They describe for you what they are feeling as well as what it means to be a mid-life woman at the closure of reproductive life; they celebrate the end of menstruation but curse the changes--including mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal/bleeding changes--they are experiencing. These changes are normal and expected, however, and need to be understood in that context. They are not symptoms of disease or an excuse for care providers to instantly prescribe hormones or drugs. With the information in Menopause, Me and You, women nearing or experiencing menopause, health care providers, such as nurses, health educators, and physicians, and counselors will better understand how women view this transition and come to accept it as another normal, necessary, and beautiful process in the lives of women.
