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).
Cross-sectional and case-control study.
The research was conducted in the outpatient Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic of Adiyaman University School of Medicine in Turkey.
The study population comprised 153 patients with PCOS and 161 healthy adolescents.
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.
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).
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.
本研究旨在探讨多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）青少年的自我概念、抑郁和焦虑相关问题的严重程度和水平。
横断面和病例对照研究。
土耳其阿德亚曼大学医学院儿科内分泌门诊。
研究人群包括 153 名 PCOS 患者和 161 名健康青少年。
所有参与者均填写个人信息表、儿童状态-特质焦虑问卷、儿童抑郁量表和皮尔斯-哈里斯儿童自我概念量表。
与对照组相比，PCOS 组的皮尔斯-哈里斯儿童自我概念量表评分较低（P<.001）。此外，PCOS 组的儿童抑郁量表评分也明显较高（P<.001）。儿童状态-特质焦虑问卷的评分显示，PCOS 组的状态焦虑和特质焦虑水平显著更高（P<.001）。
与健康对照组相比，PCOS 青少年的自我概念评分较低，焦虑水平较高，抑郁症状增加。需要进一步研究来评估 PCOS 青少年的精神问题。
