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.
