Abstract

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) increased during the reproductive age as an endocrine disorder which affects one in each 15 women worldwide. The prevalence rate of obesity is high among the female with PCOS. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of structured nursing intervention on obese adolescents' girls with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Method: A quasi-experimental design (pre-post) was used. Sample: A purposive sample of (84) adolescents' female students with polycystic ovarian syndrome were recruited. All adolescents' female students with polycystic ovarian symptoms screened by the obstetrician through abdominal ultrasound. Setting: The study was carried out at Faculty of Nursing, Menoufyia University at Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Instruments: Three instruments were used by the researchers; (1) A structured interviewing questionnaire (2) Arabic log monthly to record the regularity of diet & exercise; (3) Follow up checklist. Results: This study showed that there was a highly statistically significant improvement in girl' level of knowledge between pre intervention and post intervention regarding poly cystic ovarian syndrome. After the intervention there was significant weight reduction from the baseline value and regularity of menstruation. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that: After intervention of the study there was significant improvement of level of knowledge about polycystic ovarian syndrome and reduction of body weight and symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Recommendation: Self-management programs should be identified among adolescents with PCOS to encourage increased independence in health behavior decisions while they are still living at home.
