Abstract: (175 Views)
| Introduction: One of the complaints of women during menopause is anxiety and irritability. There are different ways to reduce anxiety. Given the fact that medicinal plants are more cost-effective than hormone therapy and drug therapy and have fewer side effects, there is a greater tendency to use them to reduce anxiety. Therefore, this study was designed with the aim of comparing the effects of violet and evening primrose flowers on the anxiety of postmenopausal women. Materials and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 135 postmenopausal women referred to health centers in Khomein City were selected by availability sampling Materials and Methods: After obtaining informed consent from the participants, they were divided into three groups: violet, evening primrose, and control. In the violet flower group, women received 5 ml of violet flower syrup twice a day for one month, and in the evening primrose group, they consumed evening primrose pearl twice a day for one month. There was no intervention in the control group. Data collection was done using a demographic form and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 Items. Following that, the data were analyzed in SPSS version 21 software using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (repeated analysis of variance and Bonferroni) statistical tests. Results: The standard deviation and mean anxiety score after taking medicinal plants of violet flower (4.06±12.67; P<0.001), evening primrose (4.62±31.78; P<0.001) were significantly lower than those of the control group (41.29±4.85). Although both intervention groups showed improvement in anxiety, the benefits assigned to the violet flower group were significantly higher than those of the evening primrose group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Violet flower and evening primrose reduced the anxiety of menopausal women. |
