Objective: Analyze the variables that favor women's adaptation to menopause, such as self-concept, self-esteem and perceived family support as the factors that predict satisfaction with life during perimenopause and postmenopause, and to identify differences among groups. Materials and methods: The sample was non-probabilistic and included a total of 404 women, separated into two groups: Group I (perimenopause) and Group II (postmenopause). The following scales were applied: (1) Satisfaction with Life (SELS), (2) the Valdez Self-Concept Scale, (3) Self-Esteem Scale - IGA, (4) perceived social support (SSP-Fa) and socio-demographic data. Results: It was found that self-esteem, perceived family support and the expressive-affective dimension of self-concept predict life satisfaction in 40.3% (R2 = 0,403 p < 0,005), with no difference between the two groups. Conclusions: The aforementioned variables are positively present in these groups of women and should be considered as mental health strengths for comprehensive nursing care during this stage of life.
