Abstract

In the current era of globalization, health has become a very valuable thing, especially reproductive health, which is currently of global concern. This decline in reproductive organs is known as menopause. The diagnosis is made after amenorrhea for at least 1 year. Most women feel anxious when facing menopause, so that many simple problems become big things and can even make a woman despair when facing menopause (Asifah & Sri Daryanti, n.d, 2021). Julianto stated that the most common symptoms of all premenopausal women are feeling hot flashes, having difficulty sleeping, getting tired more quickly at work, forgetting more often, being irritable, experiencing joint pain and frequent excessive headaches. Health decline in menopausal women can be improved by improving lifestyle, because if there is a bad lifestyle it can aggravate menopausal women's complaints. The results showed that respondents were very enthusiastic in the initial (pre) to final (post) discussions through several questions which obtained pre-test results of 85% and post-test results of 95%. This means that there was an increase in respondents' knowledge by 10% and respondents were very active in the question and answer session.
