title: Self-care and menopause: critical review of research.
abstract: Existing literature on self-care as it relates to menopause is examined to determine whether the knowledge base in this area reflects important tenets in women's health. One such tenet is that understanding the lived experience of women is critical in developing effective health care interventions. Few investigators acknowledge the lived experience of women in their studies of self-care and menopause.
