Working hours and working conditions are different for full-time workers and part-time workers. In this
study, it was hypothesized that the strategies for coping with menopausal symptoms, such as hot
flashes, night sweats and insomnia, and the proportion of women receiving clinical care differ between
full-time and part-time workers. Four hundred and eighty-seven Japanese female workers aged 45 to 60
years responded to a health questionnaire about their understanding of menopause and their strategies
for coping with menopausal symptoms. Based on the surveyed responses, the proportions of women
with menopausal symptoms were 43.0% (80/186) in full-time workers and 48.2% (145/301) in part-time
workers. There was no significant difference in the female worker response rate, nor were there
significant differences in the proportions of full-time workers and part-time workers who had an
understanding of menopause causes and treatments and who were able to cope with
menopausal-related symptoms. However, there were significantly more full-time workers than part-time
workers who received routine clinical care and who visited a hospital. On the other hand, significantly
more part-time workers than full-time workers exercised and took dietary supplements as a means of
coping with their symptoms. There are differences between female full-time and part-time workers
regarding the strategies employed for coping with menopausal symptoms. The proportion of women
receiving clinical care for their symptoms is greater among full-time employees than part-time
employees. A physical examination can be a valuable opportunity for working women with menopausal
symptoms to receive advice from a doctor or a nurse practitioner.
