Participants assigned to the control group will receive standard verbal health education related to general health during perimenopause. The content includes information on common perimenopausal changes and general lifestyle recommendations. No Jin Shin Jyutsu® techniques, relaxation exercises, or structured coping interventions are included.

Participants assigned to the experimental arm will receive a Jin Shin Jyutsu®-based hand application program guided by the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping. During the initial session, participants will receive a structured face-to-face training lasting approximately 30-40 minutes, including verbal instruction, visual materials, and a practical demonstration of the hand application techniques. Participants will be instructed to practice the Jin Shin Jyutsu® hand application daily for at least 15 minutes over a 14-day period. The intervention is designed as a self-care-based supportive approach and does not involve medical treatment, physical manipulation, or pharmacological therapy. To support adherence, participants will receive written instructions, a daily self-monitoring log, and brief reminder messages via WhatsApp® during the intervention period. No additional therapeutic techniques or relaxation interventions will be provided.
