摘要
This study aimed to examine the relationship between menopausal symptoms and perceived stress in middle-aged women during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected online from 239 middle-aged women using the Personal Information Form, Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14). A positive correlation was found between the total MRS score and the total PSS-14 score. The COVID-19 pandemic usually restrict access to healthcare visit. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need to implement specific menopausal programs to promote the psychological health of middle-aged women and reduce stress during this or similar crises.
