This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).

First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Women's Health
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Perimenopause and menopause significantly impact the female workforce, necessitating workplace support.
  • Limited research exists on menopause support specifically for nurses.
  • The transition through menopause can present challenges requiring effective symptom management and support.

Approach:

  • A case study research (CSR) approach was employed within one healthcare organization.
  • Data collection involved surveys distributed to all staff, interviews with managers, and analysis of organizational documents.
  • The COREQ consolidated criteria guided the reporting of qualitative research.

Key Points:

  • The organization's workforce is predominantly female (81.9%), with a significant portion (40.6%) aged 41-55, indicating a substantial number experiencing perimenopause and menopause.
  • Survey data revealed the prevalence of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
  • Manager interviews identified key themes: access to support and the organizational culture surrounding menopause.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare organizations must understand their workforce demographics, particularly the high percentage of women of menopausal age.
  • There is a clear need for person-centered support mechanisms and a comprehensive organizational approach to address menopause symptoms at work.
  • Implementing tailored support can improve well-being for employees navigating perimenopause and menopause.
