  "abstract": "Background: Menopause is a normal transitional phase associated with various physical, psychological, and social changes which can negatively impact women's self-efficacy and overall quality of life. Aim: To evaluate effect of nursing educational intervention based on Self-Determination Theory on self-efficacy and quality of life among menopausal women. Methods: A quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest & follow up design was implemented at the outpatient clinics of Obstetrics and Gynecology associated in Benha University Hospital, Egypt. A purposive sample of 86 menopausal women was recruited and randomly assigned into a study group and a control group. Data were collected using a structured interviewing questionnaire, Menopause Rating Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, WHO Quality of Life-BREF, and a Self-Determination Theory-Based Motivation Questionnaire. Results: No significant differences were found between the study and control groups concerning menopausal symptoms, self-efficacy, quality of life, and motivation scores preintervention (P>0.05). After the intervention, the study groups exhibited notably reduced menopausal symptom scores relative to the control groups, along with enhanced self-efficacy and quality of life scores (P<0.001) with a marked improvement noted during the follow-up phase. Furthermore, the average difference score for all domains of Self-Determination Theory-Based Motivation in the study group was higher than the scores in the control group (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: The nursing educational intervention based on Self-Determination Theory successfully improved menopausal symptoms and increasing self-efficacy, motivation, and quality of life for women experiencing menopause. Incorporating theoretical educational programs into nursing practice is advised to facilitate effective adjustment during menopause.",
