Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex metabolic, endocrine and reproductive disorder that has a huge impact on the life of women. To ascertain the effectiveness of health education module among women with PCOS.
This single-centre, randomised controlled trial was conducted on female staff of the University Putra Malaysia who were diagnosed with PCOS. Subjects were randomly assigned into intervention (n = 34) and control group (n = 35). In the intervention group, they need to take part in 8 education sessions in total over 6 months, and feedback was collected at the end of the session.
Primary outcome was changes in knowledge, attitude and practise of nutrition. Secondary outcomes were eating attitude and behaviour as well as knowledge, attitude and practise towards physical activity. After 6-months of intervention, there was a significant difference observed in nutrition knowledge 1 score (p < 0.001) and nutrition knowledge 2 score (p = 0.01) between intervention and control groups. Similarly, there was a significant difference observed in international physical activity questionnaire score (p = 0.02) between intervention and control groups. However there was no significant changes for attitude and practice of nutrition, eating attitude as well as knowledge, attitude and practise of physical activity.
Our study showed that 6-months of education intervention can improve nutrition and physical activity knowledge. Based on this study, the education module may be considered an effective intervention for women with PCOS.

多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是一种复杂的代谢、内分泌和生殖障碍，对女性的生活有很大影响。为了确定多囊卵巢综合征女性健康教育培训模块的有效性。
这是一项单中心、随机对照试验，在马来西亚博特拉大学被诊断为多囊卵巢综合征的女性员工中进行。将受试者随机分为干预组（n=34）和对照组（n=35）。在干预组中，他们需要总共参加 8 次教育课程，共 6 个月，并在课程结束时收集反馈。
主要结果是营养知识、态度和实践的变化。次要结果是饮食态度和行为以及对体育活动的知识、态度和实践。干预 6 个月后，干预组和对照组在营养知识 1 分（p<0.001）和营养知识 2 分（p=0.01）方面有显著差异。同样，干预组和对照组在国际体力活动问卷评分（p=0.02）方面也有显著差异。然而，营养、饮食态度以及对体育活动的知识、态度和实践的态度和实践没有显著变化。
我们的研究表明，6 个月的教育干预可以提高营养和体育活动知识。基于这项研究，教育模块可以被认为是多囊卵巢综合征女性的有效干预措施。
