The sample consists of 73 women determined using the G*Power program. To collect the data, a descriptive information form, the Religious Attitude Scale (RAS), and the Attitude for Menopause Scale were used. The statistical significance level was considered 0.05 in all analyses.Results:According to the results, the mean age of menopause was 48.18 +/- 43.05, the mean score of attitudes for menopause was 63.98, the mean score of RAS was 60.93, and accordingly women's attitudes and religious orientations toward menopause were at a high level. 82.2% of the women received information about the menopause period, 52.8% perceived menopause as a normal period, and 46.6% experienced mixed feelings. 23.3% prayed to alleviate menopausal symptoms. In this study, no significant difference was determined between women's attitudes toward menopause and their religious orientations.Conclusion:Women's attitudes toward menopause and their religious orientation were found to be high in this study.
