Abstract
BACKGROUND: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 210 million women worldwide. PCOS can be highly distressing to the patients and their body image appears to be strongly associated with higher levels of depression, psychological and psychosexual morbidity and increase exposure to stressful stimuli. There is a close association between PCOS and obesity and it is also associated with increased waist circumference. Lifestyle modification, including increased physical activity is the first-line approach in managing PCOS. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured exercise programme along with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on the physical and emotional disturbances among adolescents with PCOS. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 30 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS recruited through purposive sampling. A structured exercise programme consisting of aerobic, resisted exercises and CBT sessions were given to all the participants for duration of 5 weeks. Values of BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), BAI (Beck Depression Inventory), BMI (Body Mass Index) and WHR (waist hip ratio) were collected before and after the therapeutic intervention. RESULTS: From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated ‘t’ value for BMI was 6.67, at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for WHR was 11.94 at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for severity of anxiety was 10.36, at ‘p’ 0.00 which is < 0.05. From the pre-test and post-test values, using paired “t” test, the calculated “t” value for severity of depression was 11.18 at ‘p’ 0.00 Which is < 0.05 value significance. CONCLUSION: Aerobic and resisted exercise programme along with CBT can be used as an effective non-pharmacological method to help PCOS adolescents overcome their stress and depression levels in addition to reducing their BMI and WHR in the short term.
