AnnotationThe attitude and feelings toward menopause among Azeri menopausal women were explored using hermeneutic phenomenology based on Van Manen's approach. A total of 18 menopausal women attending urban health centres in Tabriz, Iran, were recruited using a purposive sampling method. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. Each interview was transcribed verbatim and analysed simultaneously. Data analysis led to the emergence of five main themes: positive attitude, neutral attitude, negative attitude, positive feelings, and negative feelings. Participants had different feelings and attitudes. Acceptance of menopause as a natural process helps women to have a neutral attitude toward menopause. (RH).
