Need-Based Educational Intervention on Post Menopausal Care in Order to Prevent Osteoporosis.

"Menopause is an event in life, not a disease". It is a universal transition that most women normally experience. Menopause is the time when menstruation ceases, commonly between the ages of 45 to 53 years and the main complication of menopause is osteoporosis. It is important that all the women should have knowledge regarding how to take care of herself to limit the complication. Therefore, a pre-experimental study was conducted among 30 post-menopausal women in Chakeisihani (Bhubaneswar), with a view to provide need-based edu- cational intervention on post-menopausal care in order to prevent osteoporosis. It was revealed that all the women gained sufficient knowledge after getting the intervention and it was found effective.
