Abstract
Background: Objective: In our study, 95 Urban and 56 rural populations of menopausal women were subjected to SCL 80 scale to determine psychiatric morbidity. Material and methods: Assessment was made using ATM scale, MRS scale and their coping strategies were noted. Data was statistically analyzed. Results: The rural women were found to succumb 1.4 times more to physical and mental exhaustion after menopause than urban women (P<0.042). Percentage scores of the urban respondents were significantly more concerned how their husbands would feel about them after menopause (χ2 =8.35, p<0.004). Statistically significant (p<0.011) urban women (5.47) show more depressive symptoms than rural women (3.08) and statistically significant (p<0.019) urban (2.33) than rural women (1.25) had more of anger hostility symptoms. Conclusion: Emotionally stable, literacy, medical knowledge about menopause, good social support was among predominant markers for positive outcome.
