“…Amini et al reported all clinical symptoms of PCOS, including oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, decreased fertility, and acne, to contribute to the poorer quality of life of women with this syndrome [29]. Similar to the findings of Deeks et al [13] and in contrast to the results reported by Kozicaa et al [30], we found no significant difference in self-efficacy between women with PCOS and healthy women. Wingo et al concluded that self-efficacy could not affect behavior modification in order to lose weight [31].…”

Introduction: With a prevalence of 4-25%, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders among women of the reproductive age. This syndrome causes different metabolic, reproductive, and psychological issues. Therefore, performing research and raising awareness in this regard seem essential. Objective: This study measured self-efficacy, quality of life, and marital adjustment in women with PCOS. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study used convenience sampling to recruit 129 women with PCOS and 125 healthy women during 2013-14. The Rotterdam Diagnostic Criteria was used to confirm the diagnosis of PCOS. The participants completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE-10), the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire-Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Dyadic Marital Adjustment Scale (DAS-32). The data were analyzed using t-tests and multivariate analysis of variance. Results: The mean scores of marital adjustment were 139.05 ± 16.984 in healthy women and 132.78 ± 20.633 in those with PCOS. The corresponding scores of quality of life were 98.62 ± 11.370 and 93.48 ± 13.372. The mean self-efficacy scores in healthy women and women with PCOS were 28.72 ± 5.65 and 27.92 ± 4.750, respectively. Healthy women had significantly higher marital adjustment and quality of life compared to women with PCOS (t = 2.641; P = 0.009 and t = 3.234; P = 0.001, respectively). However, the two groups had no significant difference in terms of self-efficacy (t = 3.234; P = 0.001). Conclusion: Compared to healthy women, women with PCOS have lower performance in some psychological aspects. Therefore, it is essential to raise women's awareness about the symptoms and psychological effects of PCOS. A referral system should also be designed to provide the patients with counseling services.

“…18 However, only 10% of dietitians reported having a departmental policy regarding PCOS, 18 which may be an opportunity for health services to improve consistent recommendation of lifestyle management. Effective recommendation of lifestyle management is likely to require not only knowledge of the evidence but also skills for supporting women to increase selfefficacy, [34][35][36] and pathways for drawing on the expertise of allied health practitioners. 37…”

The Needs of Women and Healthcare Providers regarding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Information, Resources, and Education: A Systematic Search and Narrative Review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article aims to identify and summarize the information, resource, and education needs of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their healthcare providers. A systematic search of peer-reviewed, primary research literature was conducted. A total of 4,230 articles were identified, duplicates were removed, as well as the title and abstract of 2,819 studies and the full texts of 123 studies were screened against predetermined inclusion criteria. Findings from 35 included studies are described narratively. Main outcome measures include women's perceived needs for, and experiences of, PCOS care and information; healthcare providers' delivery of PCOS care and information; and healthcare providers' perceived needs for PCOS information, education programs, or professional development. There is a wealth of literature informing how PCOS information, education, and resources can better meet the needs of women, and about the role women expect healthcare providers to play in providing information within optimal PCOS care. However, few studies evaluate how well existing resources meet women's diverse needs. There is growing indirect evidence about the information and education needed by healthcare providers to provide best-practice PCOS care. However, little research has directly investigated healthcare providers' information needs or efficacy of PCOS-specific educational programs for healthcare providers. PCOS resources for women should be comprehensive, evidence-based, include the bio-psychosocial dimensions of the condition, and available through a variety of modes. The range of healthcare providers that women may seek care from need resources to support consistent use of the recommended diagnostic criteria, effective recommendation of lifestyle management, and early detection and treatment of symptoms and complications.

“…Moreover, Niedermann et al concluded that identifying benefits and barriers to joint protection for arthritis (self-management technique for reducing pain) through qualitative approaches can have a positive impact on communication when individuals are burdened by diabetes (2010). Based on the previous studies mentioned, there is strong support for identifying motivators and barriers to program participation in order to improve public health programming (Lambert et al, 2005;Kozica, 2013Chan et al, 2009Biedenweg et al, 2014. Moreover, an analysis of focus groups with dietary group counseling participants indicated more concrete content for their counseling discussions such as work-related factors, social support, and time management skills (Korkiakangas et al, 2011). Similarly, patients who attended clinical consultations through a diabetes center reported social support as a key factor in managing their diabetes (Black, Maitland, Hilbers & Orinuela, 2017).…”

“…Additionally, qualitative research has also been used to further examine factors related to behavior change for community-based programming. Factors can be related to, but are not limited to, the benefits and barriers and the participants' social support (Lambert et al, 2005;Kozica, 2013Chan, Lok, Sea, & Woo, 2009Biedenweg et al, 2014). These factors are important when reviewing clinical outcomes and evaluating lifestyle programs.…”

Examining participant perceptions of benefits, barriers and social support in a diabetes lifestyle program

Examining participant perceptions of benefits, barriers and social support in a diabetes lifestyle program by Samantha Shawley-Brzoska PURPOSE: The emerging pandemic of chronic diseases is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. West Virginians are disproportionately burdened by diabetes (15.3%) and prediabetes (39.5%); West Virginia (WV) ranks 1 st in the nation in the prevalence of diabetes. Evidence-based lifestyle programs can prevent and/or delay the early onset of diabetes and its complications. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) has been shown effectiveness to prevent pre-diabetes in diverse populations and can be implemented in WV communities. It has been administered in faith-based communities that participants improved physical activity, nutrition, and other skills for diabetes prevention. However, these skills also benefit individuals with diabetes. Hence, the evidence-based diabetes prevention and management (DPM) program combined the DPP curriculum with the American Association of Diabetes self-care behaviors (AADE7) for a 12-month lifestyle intervention for individuals with diabetes and prediabetes. The purpose of this dissertation was to use the data from the program to explore participant's perceptions of the benefits, barriers and social support in a community-based program. Program benefits, barriers and social support have been inadequately studied, and an understanding of these non-programmatic measures could provide important information for successful and sustainable lifestyle programs in WV. Currently very few studies have examined these constructs, using qualitative and quantitative analyses techniques in diabetes lifestyle programs. METHODS: Using secondary data analyses, three aims explored (1) participants' perceptions of benefits and barriers of program participation; (2) participants' perceived social support for eating and exercise habits from friends and family (3) in-depth exploration of benefits, barriers and social support for lifestyle changes using focus groups. The first aim included 89 participants (73% female; 58.51 mean age; 62% with diabetes) who completed a benefits and barriers survey developed by the investigator. The second aim included 70 participants (74% female; 59.01 mean age; 61% with diabetes) who completed social support surveys related to eating and exercise habits. For the third (qualitative) aim, three focus groups were conducted with 22 participants (77% female; mean age 62.3; 59% with diabetes). RESULTS: Barriers has a significant relationship with percent body weight while controlling for program attendance (p=0.021). Lower level of perceived social support for changing dietary habits was associated with better program attendance (p=.008). Finally, participants revealed they benefited from the program and suggested minimal programmatic changes to improve overall program implementation. CONCLUSION: Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to triangulate data from program participants and conceptualize how program effectiveness can ...
