About

Health promotion is defined as the behaviors that a person exhibits for a long-term and high-standard life. Health promotion creates a sense of health in the individual, which makes the person feel more energetic and happy. The health promotion model primarily aims to treat the disease in the person. If the individual does not have a disease, their health is further improved. Sleep is one of the basic needs required for a person to continue their life in a healthy way. Some behaviors of people affect the quality and order of sleep. Sleep hygiene is the daily activities performed to improve the quality of sleep during sleep. Sleep hygiene education aims to avoid personal behaviors that affect a healthy sleep order and to exhibit behaviors that will positively affect sleep. Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of the menstrual cycle as a result of the ovaries losing their activity. Menopause is one of the important stages of a woman's life. Some physical and psychological changes begin to occur in women who lose their fertility and enter menopause. These changes are generally called menopausal symptoms. These symptoms are; menstrual irregularity, hot flashes, sleep disorders, tension and depression, etc. The research was planned as an experimental pre-test and post-test, and the data will be collected before and after the face-to-face training given by the researcher. The effects of sleep hygiene training given in line with the health promotion model on sleep have been investigated in the literature, but no study has been found examining the effects of sleep hygiene training given in line with the health promotion model on sleep hygiene and menopausal symptoms of women in menopause. Therefore, it is thought that the research will contribute to the literature. The results obtained as a result of the study regarding the effects of sleep hygiene training given on sleep hygiene and menopausal symptoms will be taken into consideration by midwives.
