Özet:

 Vasomotor symptoms are the most common problem during the menopausal period. This study investigated the effects of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on hot flashes in menopausal Turkish women during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study was carried out as a randomized controlled trial with the participation of menopausal women aged 45-60 years in eastern Turkey. A total of 68 women formed two groups, 34 in each group. A Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Hot Flash-Related Daily Interference Scale were used to collect study data.The results of the study showed that the menopause period in most women was between one and five years. The participants stated that the COVID-19 pandemic period increased the frequency of their menopausal hot flashes to a statistically significant extent. While there was a statistically significant difference p0.05 in the mean scale scores for the experimental group before and after the experiment, there was no significant difference in the control group p0.05.The diaphragmatic breathing exercises in this study were found to reduce hot flashes complaints during the menopausal period.

 Menopozal dönemdeki en yaygın problem vasomotor semptomlardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde menopozal dönemdeki kadınlarda diyafram nefes egzersizinin sıcak basmasına etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışma Türkiyenin doğu bölgesindeki 45-60 yaşları arasındaki menopozal dönemdeki kadınlarla randomize kontrollü olarak yürütülmüştür. Toplamda 68 kadın ile 34 kişilik 2 grup oluşturulmuştur. Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu ve Menopoza Özgü Sıcak Basması Ölçeği ile veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre kadınlar çoğunlukla bir ile beş yıldır menopozal dönemde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadınlar, COVID-19 pandemi döneminde sıcak basma şikayetlerinin sıklığını istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ölçüde arttığını belirtmişlerdir. Deney grubu için nefes egzersizi öncesi ve sonrası ölçek puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunurken p0,05, kontrol grubunda anlamlı bir fark saptanamamıştır p0,05. Bu çalışmada diyafragmatik solunum egzersizlerinin menopozal döneminde sıcak basması şikayetlerini azalttığı saptanmıştır.
