摘要：Challenges faced by women during their menopausal phases do not only revolve around them, but also their respective spouse. Even though a considerable amount of literature has been published on menopausal context, to date, there is no published review paper regarding spouse’s reaction toward menopausal-related changes. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review literature and studies conducted that related to spouse’s reaction to menopausal-related changes. This review paper is based on multiple databases focusing on spouse’s reactions and menopause. As a result, of the thoroughly reviewed literature, three classifications related to the context of spouse’s reactions in menopausal phases have been found as the following; (i) types of reactions, (ii) internal and external factors and (iii) impacts on menopausal women and spouse. In conclusion, this review paper will provide useful information to develop effective health education module which involving spouses to ensure that menopausal women have a meaningful life throughout the menopausal phases.
