The Effect of Interactive Game Supported Sleep Hygiene Training on Sleep Quality, Menopausal Symptoms and Quality of Life in Menopausal Women

Plain-language summary

This study will present an innovative approach for sleep hygiene education in this age group by developing an interactive game-based education model for menopausal women. Gamification methods enable education to be made more interactive, engaging and fun, which can improve the learning process. Considering the lack of such an application in the literature, this study is thought to fill a gap both in Turkey and worldwide. While health education is usually presented with classical methods, interactive gamification methods have attracted more attention in recent years. This study is thought to be one of the first to show how gamification can be used in menopausal women. In addition, the findings of the study may show that improving sleep hygiene in the menopausal period may provide positive effects not only on sleep quality, but also on menopausal symptoms and overall quality of life. Therefore, it is thought that the study may provide critical data in both symptom management and women's health. It is thought that this study will pioneer the development of new education and counselling models in the field of midwifery. Especially midwives can take a more effective role in symptom management by using such interactive trainings for women in menopausal period. Thus, it is thought that an innovative approach will be brought to midwifery education and practices.
