| Objective To clarify the cognition, medical seeking and compliance behavior of perimenopausal outpatients and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for the construction of medical-health care-nursing management plan for perimenopausaloutpatients. Methods A total of 376 perimenopausal women from the Department of Menopause health clinic of a tertiary hospital in Chongqing were selected by convenience sampling method from March 2022 to March 2023. General data questionnaire, Perimenopausal Cognition and Behavior Questionnaire, modified Kupperman rating scale, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to investigate the factors affecting the cognition and behavior status of perimenopausal outpatients. Results Among 376 perimenopausal outpatients, the prevalence of perimenopausal syndrome was 71.80%, and the cognitive and behavioral scores were (82.02±8.34). The cognitive and behavioral scores of perimenopausal outpatients were (82.02±8.34) points,Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level (β= 3.439，P<0.001), illness degree(β=2.124,P<0.001),employmentstatus(β=-1.979，P=0.006),depression degree(β=-1.028, P=0.005) were the influencing factors of cognition and behavior in perimenopausal outpatients.A total of 30.8% of the total variation level was explained (F=21.912, P<0.001). Conclusions The cognitive and behavioral levels of perimenopausal outpatients are uneven. Education level, disease severity, onthe-job status and psychological factors are the key factors affecting the cognitive behavior and medical treatment compliance behavior of perimenopausal outpatients. |
