Abstract
BACKGROUND: Positive psychology introduce mental health as a positive psychological functioning
and represent it as well‑being psychology. From this point of view, psychological health is more
supposed to be known as having positive characteristics such as self‑esteem, positive social
relationships, and satisfaction. This study was conducted to compare the effect of education in two
methods of person‑centered and supportive group based on the PRECEDE‑PROCEED model on
women’s psychological well‑being during menopause.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was a clinical trial. One hundred and ten
menopausal women have been placed in two groups (tests and control). The training program
was designed according to the PRECEDE‑PROCEED model. The educational intervention was
implemented for two groups (person‑centered and the supportive group) and the control group did
not receive any training. Data analysis was used by descriptive statistics and in the case of normal
distribution of alternative tests such as Kruskal–Wallis test, Man–Whitney test, Wilcoxon, spearman
correlation, Spearman correlation was used.
RESULTS: Results of variance analysis showed that awareness, attitude, self‑efficacy, enabling
factors, reinforcement, support, behavioral environment, six psychological well‑being factors were
significantly different from the individual group and control group. Furthermore, the overall score of
the psychological well‑being was significantly higher than the control group.
CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the design and deployment of health care monitoring system,
building and reform of community beliefs toward women’s status in decision making and their role
in menopause, the design and development of support group meetings in women’s health care
system and enhancing women’s access to specialist and heterogeneous health services tailored to
the needs of the menopause.
