ABSTRACT

Background: Family support and well-being play a major role in menopausal life. Studies are being done on the well-being of menopausal women. There is a drastic improvement in the well-being of menopausal women when we focus on family support in terms of physical, mental, and financial support. This protocol is developed to enhance the evidence that has been performed on family support to improve the well-being of menopausal women. The findings will inculcate the picture of family support of menopausal women as a result of women's well-being [1]. Material and Method We will conduct the study in three phases. In the first phase, we will interview relevant individuals to identify the challenges they face during menopause. In the second phase, we conduct a scoping review of the literature regarding family support and its impact on the well-being of menopausal women worldwide. The first and second phases are conducted simultaneously, and a new model is derived bycombining their results. In the final phase, using the Delphi technique, the obtained model is verified during Delphi rounds. Discussion Menopause is a crucial time in women's life. The severity of symptoms is affecting the quality of life. As a primary researcher, I have observed that family support is one of the important aspects during menopausal age. The support obtained during this period directly affects the well-being of the woman and it depends on how she copes with this crucial time. Family support in terms of physical, emotional, and financial contributes to the well-being of women during menopausal age [2]. Keywords: menopausal life, Menopause, family support
