Study Objective |
In this study we explored the level and severity of issues related to self-concept, depression, and anxiety in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Design |
Cross-sectional and case-control study.
Setting |
The research was conducted in the outpatient Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic of Adiyaman University School of Medicine in Turkey.
Participants |
The study population comprised 153 patients with PCOS and 161 healthy adolescents.
Interventions and Main Outcome Measures: The Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, Children's Depression Inventory, and Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale were administered to all of the participants who took part in the study.
Results |
The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale scores were lower in the PCOS group than in the control group (P < .001). In addition, the scores for the Children's Depression Inventory were also significantly higher in the PCOS group (P < .001). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children scores showed statistically significant higher levels of state anxiety and trait anxiety in the PCOS group (P < .001).
Conclusion |
Adolescents with PCOS had lower self-concept scores, greater anxiety levels, and increased depressive symptoms than the healthy controls. Future studies are needed to examine the psychiatric problems in adolescents with PCOS.
