Abstract
In this study, the authors explored how menopausal symptom severity and self-compassion impact social well-being among 224 employed post-menopausal women aged 50-60. Participants completed the Menopause Rating Scale, Self-compassion Scale, and Social Well-Being Scale. Groups were categorized by symptom severity and self-compassion levels. Our results showed symptom severity significantly affected social well-being, while self-compassion influenced social coherence. However, no significant interaction was found between symptom severity and self-compassion on overall social well-being. The authors emphasize the social challenges faced by women with severe menopausal symptoms and suggests fostering self-compassion could enhance social support and acceptance during this stage of life.
