Menopause Literacy Gaps Across Individual, Healthcare and Societal Levels
Emotion regulation in Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and Premenstrual Syndrome
While there is some indication that individuals with PMDD and PMS may experience difficulties in emotion identification and strategy selection, these findings should be interpreted with caution. Further research is necessary to clarify these processes and their potential variability across the menstrual cycle. Future studies should prioritise longitudinal and experimental designs to gain a deeper understanding of ER in PMDD and PMS and inform the…
Premenstrual Symptoms and Work
Most women experience some premenstrual symptoms during their reproductive years. Yet, this is an under-researched health issue, particularly in the context of work. This study aimed to: (i) understand the prevalence and severity of premenstrual symptoms experienced by working females, and their association with key work outcomes; (ii) explore factors that may be influencing these symptoms and their severity; and (iii) examine how organizations m…
Transgender women’s experiences and beliefs about hormone therapy through and beyond mid-age
Background: Little is known about transgender women's beliefs and experiences of hormone therapy (HT), as part of their transition process, and particularly as they grow older. Aims: This study aimed to investigate: (i) transgender women's experiences and attitudes to HT, and (ii) expectations of what might occur and/or what occurred after they reached "menopausal age." Methods: Participants were recruited through invitations to an online survey …
A systematic review of the factors associated with delays in medical and psychological help-seeking among men
Symptom perception in healthy menopausal women
OBJECTIVES: Perception of physical symptoms is an important factor in medical help-seeking. We aimed to examine both physiological and subjective measures of a commonly reported physical symptom-vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats; HF/NS), and to investigate factors that might influence symptom perception, that is, concordance, over-reporting, and under-reporting of symptoms in healthy menopausal women. METHODS: One hundred and forty…
An investigation of masculinity attitudes, gender, and attitudes toward psychological help-seeking
Previous research on attitudes toward psychological help-seeking has shown that men are often reluctant to use psychological services. We investigated the relationships between subscription to traditional masculinity norms, gender, and help-seeking attitudes using the Inventory of Attitudes Toward Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMHS) and the Male Role Norms Inventory (MRNI-R, which measures the extent to which one believes that men should thin…
Culture, country of residence and subjective well-being
South Asian populations represent the largest minority ethnic group in the UK. Subjective well-being (depressed mood and life satisfaction) in first generation mid-aged Asian immigrants originating from the Indian subcontinents (UKA) is examined and compared to that of UK Caucasian (UKC) and Indian (resident in Delhi) (DEL) women. Asian women (UKA and DEL) reported higher levels of depressed mood than the UKC sample, but UKA and UKC samples were …
The Women's Health Questionnaire (WHQ)
Decision-making and hormone replacement therapy
Psychological and somatic experience of the menopause
This study investigates the nature of psychological and somatic symptoms experienced during the menopause and attempts to predict individual differences using a prospective design. Thirty-six women, who were premenopausal during an initial investigation, became peri- or postmenopausal three years later. The Women's Health Questionnaire, developed specifically for this population, was used to assess general health, beliefs, psychosocial factors, a…
