Background: This study explores the impact of an innovative integrative women-centered health-care model on women's experiences during the climacteric stage. As women undergo the transition to menopause, they face diverse physical and psychological changes, necessitating healthcare approaches beyond conventional models.
Methodology: The research, involving 200 women aged 40 to 65 in counseling group sessions, assesses the effectiveness of the integrative model.
Results: Quantitative results show a significant increase in post-intervention knowledge scores and improved self-care practices, highlighting the model's success in meeting informational needs and positively impacting well-being. Thematic analysis reveals key narratives, emphasizing heightened awareness of physical changes, empowerment, and a positive shift in perception about the climacteric stage. The discussion underscores the significance of holistic approaches, with empowerment emerging as a central theme, instilling a sense of control and autonomy among participants.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study advocates for a paradigm shift in healthcare services during the climacteric stage, emphasizing empowerment and comprehensive care. By informing future healthcare practices that address the unique needs of women in this transition, the research contributes to a more holistic and empowering approach to women's health.
