What this trial studies
This study will present an innovative approach for sleep hygiene education in this age group by developing an interactive game-based education model for menopausal women. Gamification methods enable education to be made more interactive, engaging and fun, which can improve the learning process. Considering the lack of such an application in the literature, this study is thought to fill a gap both in Turkey and worldwide. While health education is usually presented with classical methods, interactive gamification methods have attracted more attention in recent years.

Outcome measures
Primary outcomes
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (1 month after the training and interactive game application)
The total score varies between 0-21. A total score higher than 5 indicates 'poor sleep quality'. - Menopause Symptoms Assessment Scale (MSAS) (1 month after the training and interactive game)
The lowest score of 0 (zero) and the highest score of 44 (forty-four) can be obtained from the MSAS. The increase in the total number of points of the scale reveals an increase in the severity of menopausal symptoms in women experiencing menopausal symptoms. - Menopause Specific Quality of Life Scale (MSQOL) (1 month after the training and interactive game application)
The lowest score that can be obtained from the total scale is '0' and the highest score (29X6) is 154.
