| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Menopause-specific health literacy is essential for women to take action to alleviate symptoms and improve their quality of life, and nurses need to support this ability. I conducted to clarify basic factors about what kind of health literacy is necessary for menopausal women through literature review.
Furthermore, I also conducted a survey using a questionnaire to clarify the relationship between university students' knowledge of menopause and health literacy. The results suggested that students who have learned menopause at university have a certain level of knowledge about menopause. It was revealed that students with the knowledge about menopause had high degree of the health literacy.

更年期は老年期に結び付く重要な時期であり、不快な症状を呈しやすい。このような時期の女性はヘルスリテラシーを高める必要があるが、更年期に関するヘルスリテラシーが低い更年期女性が多いことが指摘されている。そのため、更年期になる前から、その症状や対処法について知識を得ておくことも重要と考える。大学生の両親は ほとんどが更年期に該当しており、大学生が更年期について正しい知識を持ち、両親の健康状態を推測することは、両親への支援につながる可能性がある。また、その知識を正確に理解、評価、活用するヘルスリテラシーの力を持っていれば、将来、自分が更年期になった際、適切に対処することが可能になると考える。
