Abstract

Background

Negative mental health implications of menopause found in the general population, combined with high rates of mental health conditions found in women with intellectual disabilities, provide rationale to examine the existing literature to determine the impact of menopause on women with intellectual disabilities.

Methods

The review was conducted using scoping review methodology by Arksey and O'Malley. A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases. Relevant articles were screened according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis was utilised to identify themes.

Results

After screening, eight articles satisfied the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and after thematic analysis, themes found were: changes in mood, lack of reporting of psychological symptoms and difficulty attributing psychological symptoms to menopause.

Conclusions

Findings indicate the paucity of literature and the lack of attention paid to examining the impact of menopause on the experiences and mental health of women with intellectual disabilities.

绝经对智力残疾妇女心理健康的影响：一项范围综述。

背景：在一般人群中发现更年期对心理健康的负面影响，再加上在智力残疾妇女中发现的高比例的心理健康状况，为检查现有文献以确定更年期对智力残疾妇女的影响提供了理由。方法：采用Arksey和O'Malley的范围综述方法进行综述。在多个数据库中进行了系统搜索。根据纳入/排除标准筛选相关文章。Braun和Clarke的主题分析被用于识别主题。结果：经筛选，8篇文章符合纳入/排除标准，经专题分析，发现的主题为：情绪变化、缺乏心理症状报告和难以将心理症状归因于更年期。结论：研究结果表明，绝经对智力残疾妇女的经历和心理健康的影响缺乏文献和关注。
