Özet
Purpose: To determine depression symptoms and quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: The data were collected using the Participant Information Form, PCOS Quality of Life Questionnaire (PCOSQ-50), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The study was conducted with 131 women. Findings: The average BDI score was found to be lower in women with PCOS who perceived their income as sufficient (p = 0.033) and who worked (p = 0.003) and was found to be higher in the participants who had hirsutism (p = 0.008) and acne (p = 0.045). The PCOSQ-50 average score was 178.15 ± 27.27 in women without depression symptoms and 139.14 ± 31.33 in women with depression symptoms. The PCOSQ-50 total score was higher in women without depressive symptoms (p = 0.000). Practice Implications: Healthcare professionals should evaluate depression symptom levels using standard measurement tools and provide appropriate counseling.
