This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Interventional package on Quality of life among perimenopausal women in selected Community area at Mohali district. Quantitative research approach with pre-experimental one group pre-test post- test design was adopted. This study was conducted in selected community area badala, badali nawa shehar of Mohali, Punjab, the sample was were selected by using Purposive sampling technique in experimental group. The conceptual frame work based on Imogene king's goal attainment theory and the tool used in the study was Utian quality of life scale (UQOL). The data was collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. To test the hypothesis paired 't' test, unpaired 't' test and chi-square were used. The level of significance was assessed by p<0.05 to test the hypothesis. The major findings of the study were summarized as, the analysis of pre-test in experimental group, majority, 13(43.33%) were having average quality of life and 7(23.33%) were having poor quality of life. But after administration of interventional package, in post-test, majority 21(70%) of them were having good quality of life and none of them had poor quality of life. The mean pre-test level of quality of life among perimenopausal women 50.2 and the mean post-test level of quality of life was 69.8 and the obtained "t "value is 13.57. This shows that the mean difference 19.6 is a true difference which is significant at 0.0001 level. Therefore, the researcher rejects the null hypothesis and accepts the research hypothesis. and the findings support the research hypothesis. This is due to the effectiveness of interventional packages. The mean score on level of quality of life among perimenopausal women in posttest experimental group was 69.8 The estimated Unpaired 't' values were 4.05 * which is significant at p<0.05. It shows that Interventional packages was effective in improving the level of quality of life among perimenopausal women. The above findings fail to support the null hypothesis and accept the research hypothesis The data findings showed that there is significant association between the level of quality of life with the selected demographic variables like age, religion, education, occupation, family income, type of family, age at menarche, regularity of menstruation, age at menopause and years after menopause. So, the researcher accepts the research hypothesis and rejects the null hypothesis. The mean score of the level of quality of life among perimenopausal women in study group value were in pretest and 69.8 in posttest respectively. The Paired 't' value is 13.57 which is highly significant at p<0.001. It shows that Interventional packages was effective in improving the level of quality of life among perimenopausal women.
