| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the study was to develop a self-care support application ("app") for menopausal women. Through a research company, women between the ages of 45 and 55 were asked to use the application for one month. At the start, they were asked to set goals related to self-care (exercise, diet, relaxation) and to register their daily menopausal symptoms and self-care behaviors. Of the 33 women for whom data were collected, 28 who met the recruitment criteria were included in the analysis. The mean age was 49.7 years, 13 were postmenopausal, and the mean pre-simplified menopausal index was 46.6. The subjects were able to set and engage in self-care goals. Factors that contribute to continued behavior, and the relationship to menopausal symptoms need to be explored, and more effective and easy-to-use applications need to be considered.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
更年期症状により日常的な不調を感じている女性は多い。情報過多の時代に、自分の健康管理に必要な情報を入手し、日常生活の中でセルフケアに組み入れていく力が必要とされる。しかしながら更年期に関する適切で必要な情報を得たり、セルフケアを継続したりすることは容易ではない。更年期に関する情報を簡単に得て、自身の体調に応じたセルフケアについて目標を立て、実践の記録ができるアプリは、健康に関心をもち、自己の健康管理を継続する契機となる。今回の結果をふまえ、アプリ内容、サンプル数、アプリ使用期間などを再検討し、更年期症状の緩和への効果を明らかにしていくことで、更年期女性の健康支援に貢献することができると考える。
