A Study on Preferences for Aesthetic Service Use in relation to Climacteric Symptom Experiences and Physical and Psychological Stress in Middle-aged Women

Abstract

This study aims to examine the physical and psychological stress experienced by middle-aged women due to climacteric symptoms and to identify the differences in preferences for using aesthetic services and body shape care services according to the degree of stress. Based on the results, the necessity for an aesthetic program that can help middle-aged women who are experiencing discomfort due to climacteric syndrome to meet their physical and psychological needs and alleviate stress to help them spend a beautiful and healthy middle age was suggested. To this end, climacteric symptoms and physical/psychological stress experienced by midlife women were identified, and their preferences for aesthetic services were examined according to the level of stress. The results showed that there were differences in preferences for aesthetic services according to the level of stress. It is expected that aesthetic management programs that consider middle-aged women experiencing menopausal syndrome are developed.
