Abstract(s)
A menopausa é um processo do desenvolvimento importante e normal na vida de
uma mulher e percebida como um momento de mudança na saúde emocional e física. O
presente estudo teve como objetivos avaliar: a satisfação conjugal na menopausa nos
diferentes estádios; a relação entre qualidade de vida, satisfação sexual, alterações de
humor e a satisfação conjugal na menopausa; e, os determinantes sociodemográficos e
psicossociais da satisfação conjugal na menopausa. Trata-se de um estudo de design
transversal, com 100 participantes do sexo feminino na menopausa. Os instrumentos
utilizados foram o questionário sociodemográfico, Escala de Qualidade de Vida, Escala
de Avaliação do Relacionamento, Escala de Satisfação Sexual e Escala de Ansiedade,
Depressão e Stress. Os resultados revelam que a satisfação conjugal e a qualidade de vida
ambiental são mais elevados nas mulheres mais jovens que se encontram nos estádios
iniciais da menopausa (pré e peri menopausa). Foram encontradas correlações positivas
estatisticamente significativas entre a satisfação conjugal e a qualidade de vida, ou seja,
uma qualidade de vida superior, em todas as dimensões, está associada a maior satisfação
conjugal. Foi encontrada uma correlação negativa estatisticamente significativa entre a
satisfação conjugal e o stress, o que significa que níveis mais elevados de stress estão
associados com menor satisfação conjugal. Foram preditores positivos da satisfação
conjugal a qualidade de vida social e ambiental e, o stress, a idade e a escolaridade foram
preditores negativos da satisfação conjugal, isto é, uma idade superior, nível de
escolaridade correspondente ao ensino superior e níveis superiores de stress são
preditores de menor satisfação conjugal; por outro lado, níveis superiores de qualidade de
vida social e relativa ao ambiente são preditores de mais satisfação conjugal.
Menopause is a process of important and normal development in a woman's life and perceived as a time of change in emotional and physical health. The present study aimed to evaluate: marital satisfaction at menopause at different stages; the relationship between quality of life, sexual satisfaction, mood swings and marital satisfaction at menopause; and the sociodemographic and psychosocial determinants of marital satisfaction in menopause. This is a cross-sectional study of 100 menopausal female participants. The instruments used were the sociodemographic questionnaire, Quality of Life Scale, Relationship Assessment Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale. The results show that marital satisfaction and environmental quality of life are higher in younger women who are in the early stages of menopause (pre and peri menopause). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between marital satisfaction and quality of life, ie, higher quality of life in all dimensions is associated with greater marital satisfaction. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between marital satisfaction and stress, which means that higher stress levels are associated with lower marital satisfaction. Positive predictors of marital satisfaction were social and environmental quality of life, and stress, age and education were negative predictors of marital satisfaction, this is, higher age, higher education and higher stress levels predictors of lower marital satisfaction; On the other hand, higher levels of social and environmental quality of life are predictors of greater marital satisfaction.
