Abstract:

A polycystic ovarian syndrome is a reproductive disorder affecting reproductive-age women. A research study on polycystic ovarian syndrome among Saudi females by (Alessa et al., 2017) reveals that the level of awareness of PCOS among the Saudi population was 56.7%, while 43.3% of Saudi females were not aware or did not have prior knowledge about PCOS. Among people who had prior knowledge of the disease, 15.3% were already PCOS patients, 21.3%, 10.4%, 10.8%, and 3.0% have known about PCOS via the internet, patients, doctors, and books, respectively. So, it was crucial to raise Saudi female’s awareness toward PCOS or PCOD through teaching such video-assisted teaching and to evaluate their knowledge toward PCOS definition, clinical manifestation, etiology, management, and its care before and after teaching. So, therefore, we the faculty of Applied Medical Science College For Females At Alnamas, University Of Bisha, selected this study to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching in creating awareness and knowledge on polycystic ovarian syndrome among adolescents girls in a selected area in Alnamas. 120 adolescent girls were selected by a convenient sampling method. The researcher’s convenience and familiarity with settings were added reasons. The tool used for the research study was demographic data, PowerPoint presentation on the polycystic ovarian syndrome, awareness and knowledge questionnaire for the investigator to assess the awareness and knowledge level of the adolescent girls regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome. . After collecting the data, the data analysis was done according to the objectives of the study using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The study finding reveals that there was a significant increase in post-test awareness and knowledge scores through video-assisted teaching in creating awareness and knowledge on polycystic ovarian syndrome among adolescent girls. The gain in awareness score was significant at 0.05 level of significance, and the calculated paired t-test value is 45.932273, which is greater than the table paired t value 2.75. Also, the gain in knowledge score was significant at 0.05 level of significance, and the calculated paired t-test value is 44.690667which is greater than the table paired t value of 2.75. Findings revealed that video-assisted teaching in creating awareness and knowledge on polycystic ovarian syndrome among adolescent girls was an effective teaching strategy in gaining awareness and knowledge of the adolescent girls.
The findings also revealed that there was a significant association between knowledge level and age, education of the participant, occupation of the participant, any information before regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome, have any previous menstrual irregularities, and family history of the polycystic ovarian syndrome. But there is no association between knowledge level and citizenship, religion, marital status, family income a per –month.
