Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of soya bean on menopausal symptoms among post menopausal women at Ganapathy Maanagar in Coimbatore District. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of menopausal symptoms before administering soya bean among post menopausal woman in experimental and control group. 2. To determine the effectiveness of soya bean in reduction of menopausal symptoms among post menopausal women. 3. To assess the level of menopausal symptoms after administering soya bean among post menopausal woman in experimental and control group. 4. To find the association between menopausal symptoms with selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: The quantitative approach - quasi-experimental, pre test, post test design was selected to study the effectiveness of Soya bean on Menopausal symptoms among Post Menopausal Women. The researcher adopted non probability convenient sampling technique and 60 postmenopausal women were selected for the study from Ganapathy Maanagar, Coimbatore. They are divided into two groups, 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. The investigator used Heinemann Menopausal rating scale to assess the menopausal symptoms. RESULTS: In the experimental group, the pretest score of menopausal symptoms among post menopausal women was 18.73±3.11 and the post test mean score was 12.50±2.50. The mean difference score was 6.23 (14.16%). The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 15.145 was found to be statistically significant at p<0.0001 level. The findings indicate that there was significant reduction in the level of menopausal symptoms in the post test. This clearly infers that administration of soya bean among post menopausal women in the experimental group was found to be effective in reduction of menopausal symptoms in the post test. In the control group, the pretest score of menopausal symptoms among post menopausal women was 18.50±3.15 and the post test mean score was 18.30±3.08. The mean difference score was 0.2(0.45%). The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of t = 1.989 was not found to be statistically significant. This clearly infers that there was no significant reduction in the level of menopausal symptoms among post menopausal women in the control group. On comparison between experimental and control group, the preassessment level of menopausal symptoms in the experimental group, the pretest mean score was 18.73±3.1, the post test mean was 12.5± 2.5, (4.5table) and the mean difference score was 0.23%). The calculated student independent ‘t’ test value of t = 0.289 was not found to be statistically significant. This clearly infers that there was significant difference in the level of menopausal symptoms score among post menopausal women between the two groups in which the experimental group had significant reduction in the level of menopausal symptoms score than the control group. The preassessment level of menopausal symptoms in the control group, the pretest mean score was 18.5±3.2, the post test mean score was 18.3±3.1 and the mean difference score was 5.8 (13.18%). The calculated student independent ‘t’ test value of t = 8.013 was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This clearly infers that there was no significant difference in the level of menopausal symptoms score among post menopausal women between the two groups. CONCLUSION: This study shows that soya bean plays a vital role in reducing the menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal women. It is cost effective and more convenient to prepare.
