University of Barcelona

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will test whether a nursing program using podcasts and videos can help women feel better and take better care of themselves during the climacteric (the stage leading up to and following menopause). Women between 42 and 58 years old who attend public sexual and reproductive health clinics in the Metropolitan South Health Region of Barcelona (Sant Boi, Sant Feliu, and Cornellà) will be invited to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Intervention Group: will receive access to podcasts and videos offering practical advice and strategies to improve emotional well-being and self-care. Control Group: will receive standard care. All participants will complete questionnaires before and after the program to assess symptoms, mental health, and satisfaction with self-care. Statistical methods will be used to compare the results between both groups and determine whether the program produces a significant difference. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that this digital nursing intervention is effective and could be implemented more broadly in healthcare settings.

Interventions
The intervention group (IG) will participate in the climacteric care program. Each participant will receive a personal access code to a Moodle-based virtual campus, where they will find specially designed podcasts and videos, provided in addition to standard care. These digital "pills" have been developed by subject matter experts to support self-care during the climacteric stage and to promote positive mental health (PMH). Each resource is followed by a short quiz to assess engagement, knowledge acquisition, and adherence. A final satisfaction survey will also be included. IG participants will have two months of access to explore the content, complete the quizzes, and interact with the platform. The intervention includes the following modules: MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE CLIMACTERIC/MENOPAUSE MODULE 2: DIETARY HABITS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY MODULE 3: PSYCHOEMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT
