ABSTRACT:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting adolescent girls, with long-term implications on reproductive, metabolic, and psychological health. Lack of awareness and inadequate knowledge during adolescence often leads to delayed diagnosis and complications. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding PCOS among adolescent girls in a selected school of Jodhpur. A quantitative research approach with pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted. Sixty adolescent girls were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire before and after the structured teaching programme. The findings revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score (21.8±2.9) was significantly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score (11.2±3.1). The calculated paired t-value (t = 18.45, p<0.001) indicated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge after the intervention. Chi-square analysis showed a significant association between pre-test knowledge and class of study. The study concluded that the structured teaching programme was effective in improving knowledge regarding PCOS among adolescent girls. The findings emphasize the need for school-based health education programmes to promote early awareness and prevention of PCOS.
