目的：这项研究探讨了经验，态度，和知识的更年期在工作场所之间的参与者从英国，以评估在何种程度上更年期仍然是一个禁忌，在这种情况下。方法：通过工会大会、英国网络和社交媒体进行了一项在线调查，共有5399名受访者完成。问题探讨了与工作中更年期有关的三个关键问题：受访者自己的更年期过渡经历;工作中的披露;以及工作中更年期信息的可用性。测试结果：最大的一组（43.4%）的受访者是围绝经期和16.8%的绝经后; 12.3%的人表示，他们可能正在经历更年期，但不确定。只有45.8%的人在工作中透露了自己的更年期状况。只有不到20%的人在工作场所获得了有关更年期的信息，但大多数人希望能够获得这些信息。结论：调查结果表明，在提高工作场所对更年期的认识方面取得了一些进展，但仍有大量工作要做，以确保妇女在更年期过渡期间得到支持。
Objectives: This study explored experiences of, attitudes to, and knowledge about menopause in the workplace among participants from the UK to assess the extent to which menopause remains a taboo in this context. Method: An online survey was distributed via Trades Union Congress, UK networks and social media, and was completed by 5399 respondents. Questions explored three key issues relating to menopause at work: respondents' own experiences of menopause transition; disclosure at work; and availability of information on menopause at work. Result: The largest group (43.4%) of respondents were perimenopausal and 16.8% were postmenopausal; 12.3% indicated that they might be experiencing menopause but were not sure. Only 45.8% had disclosed their menopause status at work. Fewer than 20% were provided with information about menopause in their workplace but the majority would like such information to be available. Conclusion: The survey findings suggest some progress has been made to raise awareness about menopause in the workplace but that substantial work remains to be done to ensure women transitioning through menopause are supported.
