ABSTRAK
Menopause adalah berakhirnya siklus menstruasi secara permanen disertai
kegagalan produksi progesteron dan estrogen akibat hilangnya aktifitas folikular
ovarium. Sesuai Health-for-All Policy for the Twenty-First century, kualitas hidup
perempuan menopause adalah perhatian penting. Penelitian untuk membandingkan
skor Menopause Specific Quality of Life yang meliputi keluhan vasomotor, psikologis,
fisik, dan seksualitas di pedesaan dan perkotaan telah diaplikasikan di beberapa
negara maju. Meskipun demikian, belum ada penelitian yang setara di Malang. Untuk
itu, peneliti bermaksud untuk menelaah perbedaan kualitas hidup perempuan
menopause di perkotaan dan pedesaan di Malang berdasarkan skor MenQol.
Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan membagikan kuesioner
MenQol, identitas serta data demografi pada 74 sampel yang dipilih melalui Simple
Random Sampling dari tiap populasi. Kecamatan Tumpang mewakili pedesaan dan
Kecamatan Klojen mewakili perkotaan sesuai pasal 2 dan pasal 3 Peraturan Kepala
Badan Pusat Statistik Nomor 37 Tahun 2010 tentang Klasifikasi Perkotaan dan
Perdesaan di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rerata usia
menopause di Malang adalah 50,5 tahun dengan perbedaan bermakna antara
sampel perkotaan dan pedesaan: 49.09 tahun di pedesaan dan 51,91 tahun di
perkotaan (p=0.000< ). Didapatkan pula perbedaan kualitas hidup yang bermakna
antara perempuan menopause yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan dan pedesaan di
Malang, dengan populasi perkotaan mengalami keluhan lebih tinggi daripada
populasi pedesaan (keluhan vasomotor: p=0.000< , keluhan psikologis: p=0.000< ,
keluhan seksual: p=0.000< , keluhan fisik p=0.007< ). Berdasarkan data identitas
dan demografis, ditengarai bahwa perbedaan ini dipicu oleh perbedaan pemikiran
seputar menopause, jalinan sosial dan kekeluargaan, pola konsumsi makanan dan
jenis pembelanjaan pendapatan serta stress yang terkait dengan kehidupan
perkotaan.
