Supriya Srivastava, Dr. Kamini C. Tanwar

Abstract :

Clinically speaking menopause is a date; for those women who still have a uterus, menopause is defined as the day after a woman’s final period finishes. This date is fixed retrospectively, once twelve months have gone by with no menstrual flow at all, at this point a woman is considered to be a year into post menopause and infertile. Aim of the present research paper is to explore the difference between stress and wellbeing of menopausal and post–menopausal working and non–working women. For this purpose the sample of 120 women (30 menopausal working, 30 menopausal non–working, 30 post–menopausal working and 30 post–menopausal non–working) were selected through purposive method of sampling. “Perceived stress scale–10” and “PGI General Well Being Questionnaire” was administered in order to measure the stress and well–being of the sample. The results overall indicate comparatively better well–being and low stress levels in working menopausal as well as post–menopausal women.
