Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, and it has emerged as a significant global public health issue. This study aimed to investigate the effects of web-based health education on nursing students' knowledge, adaptive healthy measures, and attitudes toward PCOS.
A two-group randomized controlled trial (RCT) with pre-test and immediate post-test assessments was conducted. Study participants were recruited using a simple random sampling method from the Faculty of Nursing, Mansoura University, Egypt. A questionnaire consisting of six sections was developed to collect data, which was analyzed with the SPSS 23.0 using Student's t-test, Pearson's correlation test, and chi-square test analysis of variance.
The analysis revealed a significant increase in knowledge scores post-intervention, with the web-based learning groups (32.2 ± 10.5) outperforming the traditional learning group (22.1 ± 10.2), with (p < 0.05). Similarly, there was a notable improvement in adaptive healthy measures scores post-intervention, with the web-based learning group (8.9 ± 2.4) showing better results than the traditional group (6.5 ± 2.9), with (p < 0.05). In terms of attitudes toward PCOS, the web-based group (18.2 ± 4.9) displayed a significant improvement compared to the traditional group (11.7 ± 5.2), with (p < 0.05).
The findings suggest that web-based learning is more effective than traditional methods in enhancing nursing students' knowledge, adaptive healthy measures, and attitudes toward PCOS.

多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是一种影响育龄女性的复杂内分泌紊乱疾病，已成为一个重大的全球公共卫生问题。本研究旨在调查基于网络的健康教育对护理专业学生关于PCOS的知识、适应性健康措施及态度的影响。
进行了一项带有前测和即时后测评估的两组随机对照试验（RCT）。研究参与者采用简单随机抽样方法从埃及曼苏拉大学护理学院招募。编制了一份包含六个部分的问卷来收集数据，并使用SPSS 23.0通过学生t检验、Pearson相关检验和卡方检验方差分析进行分析。
分析显示干预后知识得分显著提高，基于网络学习的组（32.2±10.5）优于传统学习组（22.1±10.2），（p<0.05）。同样，干预后适应性健康措施得分有显著改善，基于网络学习的组（8.9±2.4）比传统组（6.5±2.9）表现更好，（p<0.05）。在对PCOS的态度方面，基于网络的组（18.2±4.9）与传统组（11.7±5.2）相比有显著改善，（p<0.05）。
研究结果表明，在增强护理专业学生关于PCOS的知识、适应性健康措施及态度方面，基于网络的学习比传统方法更有效。
