About this trial
This descriptive, cross-sectional study examines whether the severity of menopausal symptoms and attitudes toward sexual myths predict intrinsic religious orientation in menopausal women. Menopause is a multidimensional transition with biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects, and in societies with a strong cultural and religious fabric women may draw on religious orientation as a coping and meaning-making resource. Participants are healthy women aged 49 to 59 with a diagnosis of menopause and no chronic disease, recruited in Konya, Turkey. Data are collected face to face using a personal information form, the Menopause Rating Scale, the Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale and the Sexual Myths Scale, and analysed with multiple regression.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes

Intrinsic religious orientation (Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale)
The Intrinsic Religious Orientation Scale (Hoge, 1972; Turkish standardisation by Karaca, 2001) contains 10 items measuring intrinsic religious motivation. Seven items are positively worded and three are negatively worded and reverse coded. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert format scored from 0 (weakest) to 4 (strongest), giving a total score of 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating stronger intrinsic religious orientation.

Menopausal symptom severity (Menopause Rating Scale, MRS)
The Menopause Rating Scale (Schneider et al., 2000; Turkish adaptation by Can Gurkan, 2005) is an 11-item scale with three subscales: somatic complaints, psychological complaints and urogenital complaints. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), giving a total score of 0 to 44, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity.

Sexual myths (Sexual Myths Scale, SMS)
The Sexual Myths Scale (Golbasi et al., 2016) is a 28-item, 5-point Likert scale with eight subscales (sexual orientation, gender, age and sexuality, sexual behaviour, masturbation, sexual violence, sexual intercourse and sexual satisfaction). The total score ranges from 28 to 140, with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood of holding sexual myths.
