520 |a The aim of this study was to explore whether spirituality was associated with menopausal symptoms. Menopausal symptoms, spirituality, health and menopausal status, and socio-demographic variables were assessed in a community sample of 710 peri- and postmenopausal women. A structural model was explored using structural equation modeling. The results evidence spirituality as a significant contributor regarding the severity of most menopausal symptoms. Among others, spirituality had a significant weight in depressive mood (ß = -.414; p < .001), anxiety (ß = -.308; p < .001), cognitive impairment (ß = -.287; p < .001), aches/pain (ß = -.148; p < .001), vasomotor (ß = -.125; p = .005) and sexual symptoms (ß = -.211; p < .001). Some socio-demographic variables, as well as perceived health, also predicted the menopausal symptoms' severity. Therefore, spirituality can have a positive impact on the menopausal symptoms' reporting.
