Abstract
The impact of nurse-led interventions on health risk assessments and healthcare challenges among perimenopausal women in Choolai, Chennai is of interest. A total of 60 women, aged 40–55, were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group showed a significant 13.01% reduction in health risk scores compared to the control group’s 1.55% reduction. Qualitative analysis identified key themes including sleep issues, reliance on informal care and physical and emotional symptoms. The study highlights the effectiveness of community-based, nurse-led programs in improving health outcomes and addressing perimenopausal challenges, with implications for scalable healthcare frameworks.
