Our findings are similar to those observed in other published literatures from Egypt and India [11], [13], [14]. Pre intervention knowledge scores of participants with family history:One hundred and forty-five (59.4%) study participants had a positive family history of PCOS and influence of this family history on pre intervention knowledge scores was analyzed using independent t-test.…”

This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured education programme on the knowledge of PCOS among female university students. A validated questionnaire was administered to all the 244 participants to assess the baseline knowledge. The post intervention knowledge scores were assessed by administration of questionnaire again following a structured education programme on PCOS. A statistically significant difference was observed between pre and post intervention knowledge scores with p value 0.000. The knowledge of participants was improved through structured education programme that can play a vital role in prevention and early diagnosis of PCOS. This may also help in effective management of disease thereby preventing many long term complications.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age groups. It is one of the leading causes of poor fertility. Risk factors include obesity, not enough physical exercise, and a family history. Most studies in India report prevalence of PCOS as 9.13% to 36%. Behaviour and life style modifications are important part of treatment for PCOS. A number of cases in the community due to lack of awareness and proper guidance, it remains undiagnosed. Aim of this study was to find the prevalence of PCOS among the young females of Bhopal city. Thus, risk assessment in the form of a survey would be one of the strategies to identify this syndrome early so as to encourage young women to seek timely treatment and prevent its long term complications. Methods: Non comparative cross sectional study for duration of 8 month. Results: The prevalence of PCOS in this study was 8.20%. Among all the risk factors, BMI ≥25 (P value < 0.0001) and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 (<0.0001) were strongly associated with the presence of PCOS and Lack of awareness, there were in girls (78.4%). Conclusions: Women who were having BMI ≥25 and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 should be educated about its complications and should be advised weight loss. Girls who had irregularity of menses and signs of hyperandrogenism should be investigated and must be managed accordingly. Early diagnosis of PCOS and its prompt treatment will help the girls to improve quality of life.

“…Urgent solutions to address the issue on lack of knowledge on PCOS among nursing students were necessary as nurses played a pivotal role in educating and empowering women with PCOS (Amasha & Heeba, 2014). Amasha and Heeba (2014) had concluded that implementation of an education program was efficient in enhancing the level of knowledge of maternity nurses regarding PCOS. Therefore, nurses need to have a broad knowledge on PCOS.…”

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder of uncertain aetiology that affects women of reproductive age, characterized by features of anovulation, irregular menstrual cycle, hirsutism and acne. Although it is the commonest cause for infertility, most women remain unaware until diagnosed. This was a cross-sectional study using quantitative research approach to collect information from preclinical female students in Faculty of Health and Medicine (FMHS), UNIMAS regarding contributing factors such as Body Mass Index (BMI), menstrual cycle, lifestyle patterns and knowledge on PCOS. A total of 201 respondents participated in which 122 of them medical students and 79 were nursing students. One of the main findings of this study was that most of the students were found to be classified under ideal BMI, 12.4% were overweight and 14.9% were underweight. Statistical analysis indicated that there was no difference in the nutritional status of the medical and nursing students. The students were found to be significantly associated with pre-menstrual symptoms (PMS) and their menstrual cycle patterns were found to be significantly irregular due to stress (p<0.05). Majority of the medical and nursing students enjoyed going to the gym during their leisure time (p<0.05). Moreover, both medical and nursing students practiced sedentary activities during leisure time as their mean scores fell below 1.50. The medical students were significantly (p=0.002) more knowledgeable (Mean=0.38; SD=0.20) compared to nursing students (Mean=0.28; SD=0.21). Nevertheless, both groups were considered having poor knowledge on PCOS as their mean score fell below 0.5.
