BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a major public health concern worldwide affecting up to one in five women at reproductive age. It is associated with biochemical and hormonal disturbances as well as adverse cosmetic, reproductive, metabolic, and psychological consequences, resulting in worsened quality of life. The aim of the present study is evaluating the quality of life and determining its degrading factors among Iranian women suffering from this syndrome.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 PCOS women in Hamadan, Iran. In order to measure quality of life we used the Persian version of Health-related Quality of Life Questionnaire for PCOS (PCOSQ). Descriptive statistics was used to explore the data. In addition linear regression analysis was performed to assess factors affecting health-related quality of life in this population.ResultsThe mean score for quality of life domains (from the greatest to the least serious concern) were: infertility (3.43 ± 1.63), emotions (3.55 ± 1.17), menstrual problems (3.77 ± 1.36), body hair (3.80 ± 2.05) and weight (4.32 ± 1.80), respectively. The higher score represents better function. However, multivariate analysis revealed that hirsutism had the strongest impact on the patients’ quality of life (p < 0.001) followed by infertility (p = 0.038) and menstrual irregularity (p = 0.003).ConclusionThe findings showed that impairment of quality of life was associated with PCOS related conditions such as hirsutism, infertility and menstrual problems.

“…Further, it defi nes a model explaining an entire set of relationships (Xiong et al, 2014). Because of these advantages, SEM has been increasingly employed in many disciplines, such as banking industry (Osibanjo et al, 2014), education sector (Phin, 2015), service sector (Suki, 2014), business safety (Hsu et al, 2012), tourism sector (Hallak et al, 2012), food industry (Booth et al, 2013), and health sector (Bazarganipour et al, 2013), for uncovering the relationships among different kinds of variables.…”

The present study investigates the infl uence of performance appraisal on employee motivation and productivity in Turkish forest products industry using a structural equation model. The questionnaires prepared for this purpose were applied to 432 people that work in 14 forest products industry businesses operating throughout Turkey. A total of nine hypotheses were established to determine the relationship between performance appraisal and employee motivation and productivity. The results indicated that fi ve hypotheses were accepted, while four of them were rejected. In the light of the fi ndings of this study, it may be generally said that the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and productivity was high. In other words, performance appraisal was found to be a major factor on employee motivation and productivity. The present study is expected to help managers and decision makers in selecting suitable motivating factors in order to retain and satisfy their employees. Consequently, this study will fi ll an important gap in the area of performance appraisal in the forest products industry by structural equation modeling and presents the opportunity for further studies.

“…Los cambios que se van presentando en la figura corporal también inciden en la calidad de vida percibida (23), representando para las pacientes con SOP una menor satisfacción con su cuerpo, y una pobre autoimagen en las mujeres que presentan además hirsutismo y sobrepeso (24,25). De hecho, las mujeres con SOP señalan que un mayor deterioro de la calidad de vida se debe mas a los cambios en la apariencia física y al hirsutismo, que a los cambios metabólicos y endocrinos asociados a la irregularidad menstrual e infertilidad (26).…”

La gran mayoría de la literatura científica sobre el síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) ha utilizado un enfoque bio-médico para analizar esta enfermedad. En América Latina, y específicamente en idioma español, hay escasa información sobre las relaciones del SOP con factores psicológicos. Objetivo: Analizar este trastorno ginecológico de origen endocrino y su asociación con diferentes factores psicológicos, así como su abordaje integral. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos en los últimos años con los términos "SOP", "calidad de vida", "ansiedad", "depresión", "imagen corporal" y "disfunción sexual". Resultados: El SOP es una enfermedad multifactorial que se ha vinculado a la depresión, la ansiedad, el estrés, la insatisfacción de la imagen corporal, trastornos sexuales y de la alimentación, el funcionamiento cognitivo, calidad de vida y el bienestar psicológico; la co-ocurrencia de este tipo de situaciones psicológicas alimenta la condición somática en mención. Conclusión: El abordaje psicológico puede complementar las acciones preventivas y terapéuticas que influyen en la efectividad del tratamiento y el bienestar subjetivo informado por los pacientes. PALABRAS CLAVES: Ovario poliquístico, emociones negativas, imagen corporal, trastornos de la alimentación, calidad de vida SUMMARY Background: The vast majority of the scientific literature on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have used a bio-medical approach to analyzing this disease. In Latin America, specifically in Spanish, little is known about the relationship of PCOS with psychological factors. Aim: To analyze this gynecological disorder of endocrine origin and their association with different psychological factors and their comprehensive approach. Method: A search was performed in databases in recent years with the terms "PCOS", "quality of life", "anxiety", "depression", "body image" and "sexual dysfunction." Results: PCOS is a multifactorial disease that has been linked to depression, anxiety, stress, dissatisfaction with body image, sexual and eating disorders, cognitive functioning, quality of life and psychological well-being; the co-occurrence of such psychological situations feed the somatic condition analyzed. Conclusion: The psychological approach can complement the preventive and therapeutic actions that influence the effectiveness of treatment and subjective well-being reported by patients.
