Entering the menopause age often becomes a fear to women. When women regard menopause as “horrifying” matter, menopause will then be faced by fear, stress, and even depression. Health education is basically a process to educate individual or people in order to make them capable to learn solving their health problem as well as adapting to their life environment which is related with mental wellness. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of menopause health education on anxiety in premenopausal women at RW 02 Kelurahan Kelutan Trenggalek. This was a quasy-experimental research. The collected samples comprised 26 persons within age 45-50 years living in RW 02 Kelurahan Kelutan Trenggalek, divided between: 13 persons in Treatment group and the rest 13 persons belonged to Control group.
