- <p><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Abstract:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"> The transition into menopause represents a crucial biological phase in a woman's life, often accompanied by various challenging symptoms. The level of support provided by partners can greatly impact a woman's ability to manage the difficulties associated with menopause. This research utilized a cross-sectional descriptive survey methodology, conducted in two selected churches within the Enugu metropolis in Nigeria. A total of 58 women who met the inclusion criteria were chosen for the study through purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out using structured questionnaires designed by the researchers to identify the types of support received from spouses during the menopause transition. The reliability of the instrument was tested through a pilot study using a test-retest method, resulting in a reliability coefficient of 0.84. Additionally, both face and content validity were confirmed. Ethical approval for the study was granted by the Health Research Ethics Committee of the Enugu State Ministry of Health. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage. Findings revealed that a small percentage of the women (17.2%) received adequate support. The most common forms of assistance included inquiries about their needs and offers of help (44.8%), demonstrating empathy for their feelings (36.2%), effective communication and problem-solving discussions (32.8%), reminders of their positive attributes (32.8%), and recognizing their struggles as a shared concern (31.0%). The study advocates for greater awareness among male partners regarding the menopause transition and the types of support women require during this period to facilitate a smoother experience.</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Keywords:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"> Forms of support, perimenopause, spousal support, menopause. </span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Title:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"> EXPLORING THE FORMS OF SUPPORT PERIMENOPAUSAL WOMEN RECEIVED FROM SPOUSES</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-GB">Author:</span></strong><span lang="EN-GB"> Chioma Anthonia Udeh, Anthonia Chinweuba, Oluchi Stella Aduaka</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">International Journal of Healthcare Sciences</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">ISSN 2348-5728 (Online)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Vol. 13, Issue 1, April 2025 - September 2025</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Page No: 90-95</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Research Publish Journals</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Website: www.researchpublish.com</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Published Date: 10-May-2025</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15378432">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15378432</a></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Paper Download Link (Source)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/exploring-the-forms-of-support-perimenopausal-women-received-from-spouses">https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/exploring-the-forms-of-support-perimenopausal-women-received-from-spouses</a></span></strong></p>
