简要总结
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Symptom Severity and Distress Inventory: Development, Validity and Reliability in Turkey
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate a self-report inventory that assesses Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) symptoms and the level of distress experienced by women diagnosed with PCOS. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is the newly developed inventory a valid and reliable instrument for assessing PCOS symptoms and related distress in women?
Participants will answer online survey questions including a demographic information form and three scales evaluating psychological health and PCOS related symptoms, including the newly developed symptom and distress inventory.
详细描述
The research is a methodological scale development study.
A review of the literature reveals that despite strong evidence linking Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life, current assessment tools often fail to adequately represent psychological symptoms. There is a critical need for holistic and culturally sensitive instruments that address both the physical and psychological dimensions of PCOS. It is therefore thought that the developed scale will fill an important gap.

结局指标
主要结局
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Symptom Severity and Distress Inventory
时间窗: At the time of survey completion (Baseline)
The newly developed inventory consists of 34 items in total, with 17 items dedicated to evaluating PCOS symptom severity and 17 items for measuring distress levels. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 10. Total scores are calculated separately for symptom severity and distress levels, with each score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores on these measurements indicate an increase in both symptom severity and the level of distress experienced by the participant.
