    A total of 9 sessions were conducted, including 1 preparation session, 6 motivational interviews, 1 initial follow-up interview one week after the intervention, and 2 follow-up interviews 4 weeks after the initial follow-up. Considering the interactive training method, the motivational interviewing sessions were conducted in the training room of the Health Center in groups of 10 at three different days (Monday, Thursday, Friday) once a week, through face-to-face sessions each lasting 50-60 minutes. During the interviews, the women were provided with counseling to activate their own sources of motivation, develop healthy lifestyle behaviors and improve their quality of life specific to menopause

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II

    The scale includes six dimensions, namely, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, interpersonal relationships, responsibility for health, and spiritual growth (52 items in total). The items are scored based on a 4 point Likert scale (never, sometimes, often, and usually). The total score of the scale ranges from 52 to 208. The score of each dimension is calculated separately and a higher scores mean better health.

    Measured: change from starting to 0. and 7. week

  2. Menopause-Specific Quality of Life

    This is a 7-point Likert-type scale containing 29 items and consists of four domains: vasomotor, psychosocial, physical and sexual. Each item is scored from "0" to "6", where "0" refers to "not bothersome" and "6" to "extremely bothersome". A higher scale score indicates greater severity of the complaint.

    Measured: change from starting to 0. and 7. week
