Nursing Interventions to Enhance Positive Mental Health and Self Care in Women During the Climacteric

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study will test whether a nursing program using podcasts and videos can help women feel better and take better care of themselves during the climacteric (the stage leading up to and following menopause). Women between 42 and 58 years old who attend public sexual and reproductive health clinics in the Metropolitan South Health Region of Barcelona (Sant Boi, Sant Feliu, and Cornellà) will be invited to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Intervention Group: will receive access to podcasts and videos offering practical advice and strategies to improve emotional well-being and self-care. Control Group: will receive standard care. All participants will complete questionnaires before and after the program to assess symptoms, mental health, and satisfaction with self-care. Statistical methods will be used to compare the results between both groups and determine whether the program produces a significant difference. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that this digital nursing intervention is effective and could be implemented more broadly in healthcare settings.

Active_comparator: Climateric Intevention Group (IG)
Intervention Group (IG):~Participants will complete the same pre- and post-intervention assessments, including the validated scales and the ad hoc instrument used in the study.~Participants in the intervention group will receive a personal access code to a Moodle virtual campus, where they will find a series of specially designed podcasts and videos addressing self-care during the climacteric and promoting positive mental health (PMH). These digital resources-referred to as digital pills-have been developed by experts in the field to meet the specific needs of this population.~Each resource will be followed by a brief quiz to assess participant engagement, knowledge acquisition, and adherence. At the end of the intervention, participants will also complete a satisfaction survey. Access to the platform will remain open for two months, during which participants can view the materials and complete the quizzes at their own pace, alongside receiving usual care.
No_intervention: Control Group (CG)
Control Group (CG):~Participants in the control group will complete the same pre- and post-intervention assessments, including the validated scales and the ad hoc instrument used in the study. The intervention for this group will consist of routine follow-up care provided by a midwife in primary care, focusing on the management of climacteric symptoms. No additional digital resources or structured educational content will be provided beyond standard care.
