Objective:

To assess nursing educational interventions fostering women's self-care during their climacteric period.

Method:

This is a quantitative, quasi-experimental, and transversal study with non-probabilistic sampling. Thirty women participated. Two instruments were used: One to gather social and demographic data, and the other to obtain the self-care data. The study was carried out in 3 stages: diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation. The non-parametric Student's t test was calculated to compare dependent groups.

Results:

Before the interventions, 90% of the women referred having a just-fair self-care level, while 6.7% a good one, and 3.3% a bad one. After the interventions program, 60% of the women referred having a just-fair self-care level, but 40% reported a good one.

Conclusion:

Nursing educational interventions fostering women's self-care during their climacteric period led to a positive modification of self-care behaviors among these women by contributing to their awareness and good decision-making. Nursing participation in the promotion of health is fundamental, including women's wellbeing during this difficult stage of their lives.
