Psychosocial Adjustments of Women in the Premenopausal Transition in Selected Barangays of Urdaneta City
Abstract
This study determined the level of psychosocial adjustments of women in the premenopausal transition in selected barangays of Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, specifically along physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions. It also examined the significant differences and relationships between psychosocial adjustment and respondents’ profile variables. The study employed a descriptive quantitative research design using a survey questionnaire as the primary data-gathering instrument. The questionnaire underwent content validation by experts from the Institute of Graduate and Advanced Studies. The respondents were 45 women undergoing premenopausal transition, selected through purposive referral (snowball) sampling from three barangays in Urdaneta City. Statistical tools used included frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's r correlation. Findings revealed that most respondents were aged 46–50 years, married, had more than 4 children, were baccalaureate degree holders, and had a monthly family income of Php 63,701 or more. The overall weighted mean for psychosocial adjustment was 4.35, interpreted as “Adjusted,” indicating that respondents generally demonstrated positive adaptation to the physical, mental, emotional, and social changes associated with the premenopausal transition. No significant differences and relationships were found in the physical, mental, and social dimensions across profile variables. However, the emotional aspect showed a significant difference and a relationship with the number of children the respondents had and their highest educational attainment. The study concluded that women in the premenopausal transition generally exhibit high levels of psychosocial adjustment, which may be attributed to awareness, resilience, and positive coping strategies. Nonetheless, emotional adjustment remains a significant concern that requires focused psychosocial support and intervention programs.
