A robber of joy or a natural transition? a qualitative exploration of women's menopause experiences in Ireland
Listen to this summary
This study aims to explore women's experiences of menopause in Ireland, addressing the often-overlooked physiological and psychological changes associated with this life stage. Through qualitative focus groups, the authors found that women's experiences varied widely, with some feeling distress and loss of identity, while others viewed it as a natural and liberating transition. The findings emphasize the need for increased awareness and support tailored to the diverse needs of women during menopause.
