Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive period and the beginning of her non-reproductive period. Biological, psychological, and physiological changes describe it. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of social-platform instructions regarding menopause on middle-aged women's awareness during the Covid-19 outbreak. Research design: A Quasi-experimental design (pre-post) test was adopted in this study. Setting: This study was conducted on non-menopaused women in Port Said governorate, Egypt, using an online self-administered questionnaire via Google Form. The study sample: A purposive sample of 300 healthy and non-menopaused women aged 35–45 years was obtained from social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp groups.  Tools: (1) A Non-menopaused women's demographic data; (2) Women's knowledge regarding menopause, (3) Women's attitude regarding menopause (4) Women's reported practice regarding menopause, and (5) Women's satisfaction with social social-platform instructions. Results: The study findings revealed that women had a higher score of knowledge, attitude, and practical knowledge post-social- social-platform instructions intervention compared to pre-intervention regarding menopause. There was a positive correlation between mothers' total knowledge scores and total practical knowledge scores at the 0.01 level of significance regarding menopause post-intervention. Conclusion: The study concluded that the effect of social- social-platform instructions regarding menopause on middle-aged women's knowledge, attitude, and practices during the Covid-19 outbreak was positive.
