Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Materials and Methods: This study was randomized with 126 menopausal women (study group n=63, control group n=63) between June 2024 and February 2025. Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Training (MBSCT) was applied in groups of 10 and 11 participants, twice a week, for 8 sessions of 40 minutes. Data were obtained using the Personal Information Form, Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS), and DSM-V Level II Anger Scale.
Research Hypotheses:
H1: MBSCT applied to menopausal women enhances the genital self-image of individuals.
H2: MBSCT applied to menopausal women reduces individuals' self-anger.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Training is a very comprehensive approach that addresses the awareness and acceptance of individuals towards their bodies, as well as encouraging them to live a conscious life. Studies found that self-compassion increases well-being during menopause . Psychiatric nursing is a special field that works to evaluate, diagnose, and enhance mental health in every area where people are present. However, midwifery has a wide service area with the priority of preventive health services; primarily women's health, and the duties of evaluating, diagnosing, enhancing, and rehabilitating the physical and psychological health of the whole family. In light of this information, increasing the mindfulness and self-compassion levels of women in menopause may increase the place of women who "age" healthily and therefore mentally healthy elderly women, in society and may make a significant contribution to protecting and improving the mental health of society. Since the literature review revealed a gap in the literature regarding these areas for women in the menopausal period, this study was conducted to determine the effects of mindfulness-based self-compassion training for menopausal women on their genital self-image and self-anger.
