Abstract

Quality of life (QoL) is a multifaceted concept used to assess the overall well-being of individuals. With the rise in life expectancy and changing societal roles, the focus on quality of life has extended to specific groups, including menopausal women. The present study explored the impact of employment status on menopausal quality of life and used a descriptive research design. The study includes a total number of 60 menopausal women. Out of the total 60 menopausal women, there are 30 working women at menopause age and 30 working women at menopause age. The participants of the present study were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. The Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) questionnaire and a personal data sheet developed by the investigator to gather participant information were used. Statistical analysis, such as a t-test, was used to find the difference in the quality of life between the two groups. Findings revealed that the effect of menopause on quality of life does not differ much in working women as compared to non-working women.
