Midlife women’s knowledge, positive attitudes and management toward menopause may improve the quality of periand post-menopause life. This study was to identify correlations of the knowledge, attitude, symptoms and management towardmenopause in middle-aged women. Methods: We used a cross-sectional questionnaire study applying to 231 perimenopausal and menopausal women aged from 40to 59 years old. The completed data of 189 perimenopausal and menopausal women were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA andpearson’s correlation coefficient using the SPSS statistical programme. Results: The menopausal women showed significantly higher physical symptoms than perimenopausal women. The menopausalwomen showed significantly higher psychosomatic symptom than perimenopausal women. There was a significant correlationbetween the menopausal attitude and management. Conclusion: This study suggests that the fundamental data of developing midlife women’s symptom index (MSI) and providingmenopause management could be a strategy to encourage successful menopausal transition in middle-aged women.
