About

Relaxation training is one of the methods used in the reduction of many menopausal symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms, sleep disturbance, and emotional status changes.

Symptoms seen during menopause; sleep disturbance and lack of body awareness negatively affect women's daily lives. Relaxation exercises play an important role for women to manage this process better. In previous studies, the effects of relaxation training on hot flashes have been investigated, but a comprehensive study including body awareness and sleep problems has not been conducted yet. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of relaxation training on vasomotor symptoms and body awareness in menopausal and postmenopausal periods.
