A study to assess the knowledge and effectiveness of soyabean consumption on menopausal symptoms among women in selected community, Dhamtari, C.G.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of knowledge and soya bean consumption in managing menopausal symptoms among women aged 45-60 years. A quasi- experimental pre-test, post-test design with a non-equivalent control group was used, revealing significant improvements in knowledge and reduction in menopausal symptoms in the experimental group. Comparisons between groups showed statistically significant differences in knowledge and symptom severity, with a negative correlation between post-test knowledge and menopausal symptoms. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of health education and soya bean consumption in empowering women to manage menopausal symptoms, enhancing their well-being, and promoting healthy living, with practical implications for developing non-pharmacological interventions for menopausal women.
