dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the state of aging anxiety in middle-aged women. METHODS: The study was collected from women between the ages of 40 and 59 years by an online survey method. While collecting the data of the participants, the women's personal characteristics diagnostic form and the Aging Anxiety Scale for Middle-Aged Women were used. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 26 statistical software. RESULTS: The aging anxiety of the women was found to be moderate (53.05 +/- 16.26). A significant correlation was found between women's menopausal status, household income, education level, and total score of aging anxiety (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: In addition to working outside the home, women are also burdened with duties inside the home. To improve their quality of life, women need to share many of the tasks imposed on them with other family members. To reduce the anxiety experienced by women during the climacteric period, it is recommended to provide psychosocial support to women and consider this issue in health policies. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, have important duties to reduce anxiety and stress, which constitute the basis of many chronic diseases. It is recommended that nurses, who are health ambassadors, direct women with anxiety to psychological support services through screenings they will conduct for women during this period.en_US
