 Amaç: Araştırma postmenopoz ve premenopoz dönemdeki kadınların menopoza ilişkin tutumlarının cinsel yaşam ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisinin incelenmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı araştırmanın örneklemini postmenopoz n161 ve premenepoz n161 dönemde olan toplam 322 evli kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Menopoza İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği MİTÖ, Arizona Cinsel Yaşantılar Ölçeği ACYÖ ve Utian Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği UYKÖ ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Postmenopozal kadınların MİTÖ puanları ile UYKÖ alt boyutlarından emosyonel yaşam kalitesi arasında r0.450; p0.001 pozitif yönlü, meslek  iş yaşam kalitesi arasında r0.342; p0.001 negatif yönlü, MİTÖ puanları ile ACYÖ toplam r 0.310; p0.001 puanları arasında negatif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki vardır. Sonuç: Postmenopozal kadınların sağlık ile ilgili yaşam kaliteleri ve cinsel yaşam kaliteleri daha olumsuzdur. Postmenopozal kadınların menopoza ilişkin olumlu tutumları arttıkça emosyonel yaşam kalitesi düzeyleri artmakta, meslek  iş yaşam kaliteleri azalmakta, olumlu tutumları azaldıkça cinsel yaşamları olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin menopoz sonrası evli kadınların menopoza yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirmelerine yardımcı olmaları, düzenli takip, eğitim ve cinsel danışmanlık yapmaları önerilmektedir.
