ABSTRACT Background and Aims Menopause is a multifaceted condition with several problems. Educational interventions regarding self‐care and limiting exposure to menopausal warning indicators can help to minimize problems. As a result, the study aimed to investigate the influence of educational intervention on variables influencing menopausal adaptation. Methods This study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) intervention in which the researcher developed a standard questionnaire (kapa = o/99, CVR = 0/81, CVI = 0/96, ICC = 0/89) for 130 participants at four education sessions in Mashhad, Iran, in 2023. This questionnaire was completed before the intervention, shortly afterward, and 3 months later. Results The average age was 52 ± 4 years, with no significant difference between the two groups. According to the regression model findings immediately following the intervention, the factors of education level, income level, and age had no significant influence on the overall score of the questionnaire. The linear regression model revealed that the intervention group had a higher average score of 13.89. The outcomes 3 months after the intervention were identical to those immediately following the intervention. Three months after the intervention, there was a substantial change in the score for encountering warning signals and seeking help and self‐care compared to before (p‐value = 0.002, p‐value

Abstract Background and Aims Menopause is one of the most significant stages in women's life. It is accompanied by many complications and a serious challenge. This study aimed to assess the menopause experiences of Iranian women and compatibility strategies. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, Ovid, and the Iranian Clinical Trial Registry and Magiran, SID, from January 1990 to January 2021. Results Psychological effects, sexual disorders, physical problems, bone pain, insomnia, fatigue, and hot flashes are all menopause experiences. Cultural factors, lifestyle, social factors, education level, employment and economic status, marital status, and the number of pregnancies and births can influence this experience. It is important that menopausal women are aware how menopausal compatibility and prepare for this period. Many factors have affected menopausal adopting strategies. Negative emotions, negative attitudes, worry, and anxiety, and their psychological effects exacerbate the annoying experiences of menopause and decelerate menopausal adoption. Conclusions Social support and educational intervention were the practical menopausal adopting strategies. It will guarantee the health of menopausal women in the last third of their lives.

The impact of roads as ubiquitous features of the modern landscape on wildlife habitat and biodiversity is now a serious global concern. Due to transportation infrastructure around the world, habitat loss is now considered a major threat to biodiversity conservation. The development of communication roads has exerted devastating influences on the environment, especially on wildlife habitats and sensitive ecosystems. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to assess the impacts of the Darmian road which passes through the middle of a protected area and divides it into two southeast and northwest parts. The Leopold matrix method was used to identify potential impacts on wildlife habitats. The scoring process in the Leopold matrix was performed by collecting the opinions of a panel of environmental experts and specialists based on the criteria of magnitude and significance. The results showed importance of risks are vehicle traffic (244), vehicle traffic noise (67), and salt defrosting (39), respectively. Also, the evaluation of environmental factors showed that the highest risks due to road functions include fragmentation and reduction of the habitat area (68), greater access to natural ecosystems (63), noise pollution (53), hunting and reduced habitat safety (44), and wildlife fatalities and accidents on roads (34). Thus, the environmental managers should pay more attention to the use of mitigation measures as management strategies to decrease the amount of negative impacts and further damage in the future. Finally, management strategies and solutions are suggested to reduce environmental damage according to the important impacts of road exploitation.
