Abstract: (1443 Views)
Introduction: Menopause is a natural aging process that occurs due to decreased production of testosterone. As the population ages, andropause is becoming a serious health problem. Due to the limited studies on andropause in Iran and the unfamiliarity of men with this concept, a study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of men over 40 years old in Meybod about andropause.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 400 men over 40 years of age. Sampling was cluster sampling and data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire, and then analyzed by analysis of variance, Pearson correlation test and regression test in SPSS software version 18.
Results: Based on the results of the study, men's knowledge about andropause was low and their attitude was negative and the mean score of participants' knowledge about andropause by age groups (P <0.05), education (P <0.05) and occupation (P <0.05 was significant and the mean score of their attitude towards andropause was significant in terms of age groups (P <0.05) and occupation (P <0.05) but in terms of education (P> 0.05). ) did not make sense. According to Pearson correlation coefficient, there is a statistically significant relationship between the mean score of knowledge and the score of attitude.
Conclusion: The knowledge of men in Meybod about andropause is low and their attitude is negative and they need more education about andropause.
