Abstract
We studied the influence of meaninglessness and life satisfaction on menopause-related symptoms in 342 middle-aged Mexican women. They completed the Greene Climacteric Scale, the Dimensional Scale of the Meaning of Life, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Psychological symptoms were predicted by meaninglessness and life satisfaction; somatic symptoms only by meaninglessness; and the sexual symptom by meaninglessness and by the menopausal status. These findings may be useful in designing strategies to help women find meaning and satisfaction in their lives and thereby enable them to experience menopause under optimum conditions.
