Intellectual disability affects women's understanding of hormonal changes.(Brief Article)
2003 FEB 13 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Women with intellectual disability may not be able to comprehend the significance of menopause, researchers suggest.
"This article explores a heretofore neglected topic: the perceptions, experiences and support needs of women with intellectual disability as they go through the menopause. Findings are presented from semistructured interviews with 15 women with mild-to-moderate intellectual disability aged 43-65 years. Levels of knowledge about what the menopause was, when it happened, and whether it happened to all women, were found to be generally low," researchers in England reported.
"More significantly, the majority of the women did not understand the significance of the menopause on a woman's reproductive capacity. The women's experiences of change and transition were on a predominantly physical level, with some emotional effects, but little or no psychological and social impact noted," wrote M. McCarthy and colleagues, University of Kent, Tizard Center.
