Menopause health management theme PPT production practical guide

The core point of making this type of PPT is to first target the audience. The version for popular science for ordinary menopausal people should be professional, practical, and empathetic. The version for training grassroots medical workers should be evidence-based, comprehensive, and cover the applicable boundaries of controversial programs. If you are not sure about the audience, you would rather do it shallowly than in depth. Don't use medical terminology to scare people away.

Last month, I helped the family planning officer in the street office revise a PPT presentation for 45-55-year-old women in the community. The original version opened with 3 pages of the pathogenesis of perimenopause and the physiological curve of estrogen and progesterone fluctuations. Last time, there were more than 20 aunts sitting under the podium, and half of them were there in less than 10 minutes. I started making house calls and flipping through my phone, and then changed the opening to a hand-drawn cartoon: a middle-aged woman was standing in the living room, complaining that the air conditioner was too hot, and frowning at her husband who was playing games next to her, with a line of words: "Have you ever felt a sudden fever in your body recently, making you uncomfortable with everything you see, and still unable to sleep?" ”, the scene immediately became lively. Many aunts raised their hands and said that they were like this. They thought they had a bad temper before.

In fact, people have a lot of misunderstandings about menopause. When you create content, don’t be too busy teaching everyone “lectures.” First, spreading the concept that “menopause is not a disease, but just a transitional stage of the body” is better than anything else. As for the issue of hormone supplementation that everyone is most concerned about, don’t directly say whether it can or cannot be done. There are indeed different trends in the industry now: Some experts believe that as long as there are no contraindications, supplementing hormones during the window period (that is, within 10 years after the symptoms of menopause first appear and before the age of 60) can not only quickly improve symptoms such as hot flashes and insomnia, but also prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The benefits far outweigh the risks. ； Some experts will be more cautious, reminding people with a history of breast nodules, endometrial lesions, and high-risk blood clots to strictly evaluate the indications for hormone supplementation to avoid risks. When you make a PPT, clearly list the prerequisites of both views, and finally add the sentence "No matter what the situation is, you must find a gynecological endocrinologist in a regular hospital for evaluation, and don't buy health products or supplements by yourself." It is enough. You don't need to take sides.

Don’t pile too much text on the content. Just three lines of core information at most on one page. For example, on a page about how to supplement calcium, don’t list a bunch of foods high in calcium. Just put three pictures: a 250ml box of pure milk, half a pound of green leafy vegetables, and 100g of marinated tofu. Below it is a line with the words “Eat enough of these three items in a day, and you will almost have enough calcium.” It is much easier to remember than listing a dozen foods. If you think it’s too dry, you can add a little metaphor. Let’s talk about the hormone fluctuations during menopause. It’s like a water heater that has been used at home for more than ten years. The water comes out hot and cold. Those symptoms of irritability, hot flashes, and bad mood are all caused by “unstable water temperature.” It’s not that you are being hypocritical. If you say this, everyone can sympathize with it.

Don’t just say “Thank you for watching” at the end. On the last page, put three small suggestions that everyone can do easily, such as sunbathing for 10 minutes every day to replenish vitamin D on your back, don’t use your mobile phone and soak your feet in 40-degree water for 5 minutes before going to bed. When you feel like getting angry, count to 3 before speaking. Everyone can take a photo and use it at home. The acceptance of the whole lecture will be much higher.
