Nurses are in unique position to create awareness regarding this syndrome. Informed choices and lifestyle management like weight loss ,stress management are key factors in management of this disease. Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) among Nursing Students. Methodology: The present study has used Quantitative Research Approach and Descriptive Research Design. A total 60 nursing students who were studying in DGNM 3rd year and B.Sc. Hons Nursing 4th year participated in the study. Data was gathered using demographic sheet and structured questionnaire which was administered through online mode after formal permission. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, means and median and standard deviation were used to describe the demographic profile and level of knowledge regarding PCOS. Result: The study found that majority of Nursing Students (60%) have average knowledge, 38.33% have Good knowledge and 1.66% have poor knowledge regarding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

护生对多囊卵巢综合征知识的评估

引言：在印度，多囊卵巢综合征是继高血压和糖尿病之后女性最常见的非传染性疾病。患有多囊卵巢综合征的女性发生不孕、HTN、流产、胰岛素抵抗等健康并发症的风险更高。缺乏知识和不良的生活方式选择被认为是导致该综合征的主要因素。护士在提高人们对这种综合征的认识方面处于独特的地位。知情的选择和生活方式管理，如减肥、压力管理，是管理这种疾病的关键因素。目的：本研究旨在评估护理专业学生对多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的认识。方法：本研究采用定量研究法和描述性研究设计。共有60名在DGNM三年级和护理荣誉学士四年级学习的护理专业学生参与了这项研究。使用人口统计表和结构化问卷收集数据，在正式许可后通过在线模式进行管理。描述性统计数据，如频率、百分比、平均值、中位数和标准差，用于描述PCOS的人口统计学特征和知识水平。结果：大部分护生（60%）对多囊卵巢综合征知识水平一般，38.33%的护生知识水平较好，1.66%的护生对多囊卵巢综合症知识水平较差。结论：本研究结果表明，大多数护生对多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的认识一般。如何引用这篇文章：Sehar S.护理专业学生对多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）知识的评估。Int J Nurs Midif Res 2020；7（3）：42-45。DOI：https://doi.org/10.24321/2455.9318.202025
