dc.description.abstractObjective: – This study examined the relationship between menopause symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms. Methods: – The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 212 women aged 45-55 who actively use the internet and social media (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, etc.). The Personal Information Form, Menopause Rating Scale, and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale were used to collect research data. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the research data. Results: – A statistically significant and positive relationship was found between gastrointestinal and menopause symptoms (r=0.599, P=0.001). It was found that for each point increase in the menopause symptom scale, the score in the gastrointestinal symptoms scale was 1.02 points higher on average (B=1.02, P<0.001). Conclusions: – The study found a relationship between menopause symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms. This shows that gastrointestinal symptoms should be considered in the health assessment of women in menopause. © 2025
