Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility among women of reproductive age. Pharmacy students and other healthcare trainees have been shown to have limited knowledge of PCOS. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of video-based educational intervention on knowledge and perception of PCOS among final-year undergraduate pharmacy students in a Nigerian public university.
A pre-post video-based interventional study was conducted among all final-year undergraduate pharmacy students in a Nigerian public university. Informed consent was obtained from all eligible participants. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire before and after administering the intervention. Descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and independent t-tests were used for data analysis. The level of significance was set as p < 0.05.
Of the 306 pharmacy students who participated in the study, more than half were female (n = 168, 54.9%), aged 20 to 24 years (n = 166, 54.2%), and had one to three female siblings (n = 189, 61.8%). About 82% of the pharmacy students had heard of PCOS (n = 250). Video-based educational intervention significantly improved pharmacy students' knowledge of PCOS (90.42 ± 12.85 vs. 47.51 ± 25.97, t = -25.494, p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the students' perception towards PCOS before and after the intervention (18.35 ± 5.50 vs. 18.33 ± 5.36, t = 0.045, p = 0.965).
Video-based intervention improved the knowledge of pharmacy students about PCOS, but had no significant impact on their perception towards the disorder. Being a female student was associated with a better understanding and a more positive perception towards PCOS.

多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是育龄女性无排卵性不孕的主要原因。已有研究表明，药学专业学生及其他医疗保健专业实习生对PCOS的了解有限。因此，本研究旨在调查基于视频的教育干预对尼日利亚一所公立大学本科最后一年药学专业学生关于PCOS的知识和认知的影响。
在尼日利亚一所公立大学的所有本科最后一年药学专业学生中开展了一项基于视频的前后对照干预研究。获得了所有符合条件参与者的知情同意。在实施干预前后，使用经过验证的自填式问卷收集数据。采用描述性统计、配对t检验和独立t检验进行数据分析。显著性水平设定为p < 0.05。
参与研究的306名药学专业学生中，超过一半为女性（n = 168，54.9%），年龄在20至24岁之间（n = 166，54.2%），有1至3个姐妹（n = 189，61.8%）。约82%的药学专业学生听说过PCOS（n = 250）。基于视频的教育干预显著提高了药学专业学生对PCOS的知识水平（90.42 ± 12.85对47.51 ± 25.97，t = -25.494，p = 0.001）。然而，干预前后学生对PCOS的认知没有显著差异（18.35 ± 5.50对18.33 ± 5.36，t = 0.045，p = 0.965）。
基于视频的干预提高了药学专业学生对PCOS的知识水平，但对他们对该疾病的认知没有显著影响。女性学生对PCOS有更好的理解和更积极的认知。
