Background
The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between Menopause Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL), Perceived Social Support (PSS) and factors associated with MENQOL among a group of Iranian Postmenopausal women in 2018.
Methods
In this cross-sectional study 410 of Postmenopausal Iranian women in Neyshabur are examined. QOL was assessed using MENQOL questionnaire, and social support was assessed through administration of a modified Sarason’s Social Support Questionnaire. The data were analyzed through conduction of a Pearson correlation coefficient and Linear regression analysis using SPSS software package 20.
Results
It was found that the average age of PMW was 53.92 ± 3.86 years. The total scores of the QOL ranged from 10 to 30, with a mean of 37.83 (SD = 12.9). Mean scores of Sexual, psychological, physical, and Vasomotor domain of QOL were 12.55 ± 6.96, 14.66 ± 2.20, 18.11 ± 1.85, 12.02 ± 4.93. Perceived social support was positively correlated with the overall QOL (r = 0.68; P ≤ 0.001). Moreover, perceived social support was associated with Vasomotor (r = .55, p ≤ .001), Psychosocial (r = .65, p ≤.001), Physical (r = .59, p ≤ .001), Sexual (r = .48, p ≤ .001) subscales of QOL.
Conclusions
The results of the current study showed a significant relationship between perceived social support and QOL in PMW. Further research is suggested to investigate other variables among PMW in Iran.

调查伊朗绝经后妇女的更年期特定生活质量与感知的社会支持之间的关系。
背景
这项研究的目的是调查2018年一组伊朗绝经后妇女的更年期特定生活质量(MENQOL),感知的社会支持(PSS)和与MENQOL相关的因素之间的关系。
方法
在这项横断面研究中,检查了内沙布尔的绝经后伊朗妇女410。使用MENQOL问卷对生活质量进行评估,并通过修改后的Sarason社会支持问卷对社会支持进行评估。使用SPSS软件包20通过传导Pearson相关系数和线性回归分析来分析数据。
结果
发现PMW的平均年龄为53.92±3.86岁。QOL的总分在10到30之间,平均为37.83(SD = 12.9)。QOL的性,心理,身体和血管运动领域的平均评分为12.55±6.96、14.66±2.20、18.11±1.85、12.02±4.93。感知的社会支持与总体生活质量呈正相关(r = 0.68; P≤0.001)。此外,感知到的社会支持与血管舒缩运动(r = .55,p≤.001),心理社会(r = .65,p≤.001),身体(r = .59,p≤.001),性(r = .48,p≤.001)。
结论
当前研究的结果表明,感知的社会支持与PMW中的QOL之间存在显着的关系。建议进一步研究以调查伊朗PMW中的其他变量。
