                        <jats:p xml:lang="tr">Bu araştırmanın temel amacı polikistik over sendromu tanısı alan ve almayan kadınların psikolojik belirti, depresyon ve anksiyete düzeylerinin detaylı olarak incelenmesidir. Çalışmada nicel araştırma modeline bağlı olan ilişkisel araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evreni KKTC’de yaşayan 18-50 yaş arası bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmaya amaçsal örnekleme yöntemi yoluyla 412 Polikistik over tanısı olan kadınlar ve 412 Polikistik over tanısı olmayan kadınlar olmak üzere toplam 824 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama araçları olarak Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ve Belirti Tarama Listesi (SCL-90-R) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizinde Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 26.0 yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada PKOS olan katılımcıların anksiyete, depresyon ve psikolojik belirti düzeylerinin PKOS olmayan katılımcılara göre daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.</jats:p>
