title: Frequency and effectiveness of self-care actions and menopause symptoms of middle-aged working women.
abstract: A sample of working women (462) was surveyed to determine the frequency and effectiveness of menopause-specific symptoms and self-care actions. Perimenopause women were more symptomatic than the pre or postmenopause women. The most frequently used and effective self-care actions were to control vasomotor symptoms.
