Abstract (English):	Background: During climacteric, the presence of disabling symptoms and the higher incidence of chronic diseases may impair the job performance of women. Aim: To relate job performance levels with the climacteric period and associated factors in working women aged from 42 to 55 years old. Subjects and methods: In a cross-sectional and correlative design, 64 secretaries at two public organizations at the Eighth Region of Chile, were assessed using the following instruments: Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (University of Toronto), adapted for Chile by PROSAM, Climacteric Self-care Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale and Biodemographics Variables Questionnaire. A Perception of the Job Performance Scale was applied to the persons that superintended these women. Results: The Department Heads or persons supervising these women, determined that most workers did their work well. The best evaluations were given by older bosses. Most women under study showed a moderate alteration of the Menopause Quality of Life. A deficit of self-care during the climacteric period was detected in 92.2%. The perceived social support from friends correlated with job performance. Menopause quality of life in its different domains had no correlation with job performance variable. Conclusions: No association between changes during the climacteric period and job performance was observed among women participating in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	Antecedentes: en virtud de la importante proporción de mujeres de 45 a 54 años de edad que forman parte del mercado del trabajo, es importante considerar los factores que podrían incidir en su desempeño laboral en esta etapa de su ciclo vital. Objetivo: relacionar el desempeño laboral con los factores asociados al periodo de climaterio, en mujeres entre 42 y 55 años que trabajan como secretarias en dos instituciones públicas de la Octava Región de Chile. Pacientes y método: estudio cuantitativo, transversal y correlacional efectuado con mujeres entre 42 y 55 años de edad que trabajan como secretarias en dos instituciones públicas, una universidad y una municipalidad de la Octava Región de Chile. Los datos se procesaron en el Departamento de Estadística de la Universidad de Concepción, a través del programa SPSS 11.0. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, coeficiente de correlación r de Pearson, t de Student, ANOVA y regresión múltiple. Se consideraron con significación estadística los valores de p <0.05. Resultados: no se encontró asociación entre el desempeño laboral y los distintos dominios de la calidad de vida en este periodo. Así, los resultados señalan que las manifestaciones del climaterio no se relacionan con el desempeño laboral de las mujeres de este estudio. Estos resultados, junto con pruebas provenientes de estudios del desempeño laboral vinculado con edad y sexo permiten afirmar que no se ha encontrado relación entre climaterio y disminución en el desempeño laboral. Conclusiones: los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que el desempeño laboral en las participantes de este estudio no se encuentra vinculado con las manifestaciones del periodo climatérico [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
