Background: This study has been conducted to compare and analyze the effect of Hormone Replacement Therapy(HRT) upon menopausal women’s attitude towards menopause, aging and quality of life.
Methods: The subjects of this study were selected from a general hospital located in Seoul. The group is divided into HRT and Non-HRT group. The variables tool used in this study were attitude towards menopause, aging, social network and quality of life. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS PC 12.0 for x²-test and ANCOVA.
Results: The HRT group showed more positive attitude towards menopause (F=31.14, p < .001), aging (F=138.93, p < .001) and quality of life((F=265.09, p < .001). And the conflict of social network in the HRT group was lower than in the Non-HRT group(F=742.50, P < .001). But the support of social network in the HRT group was higher than in the Non-HRT group(F=125.02, P < .001).
Conclusions: The results of this study confirmed that HRT helps postmenopausal women to have a more positive attitude towards menopause and aging, and also to promote the quality of life and social network in postmenopausal women.31 (Korean J Health Promot Dis Prev 2007 ; 7(1) : 24~31)
