Abstract

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age which can cause many problems such as hyperandrogenic symptoms and fertility problems. Objective: The present study aimed to determine the relationship of mindfulness with hyperandrogenic symptoms and demographic and fertility factors in women with PCOS. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 181 women with PCOS referred to Firoozabadi and Firoozgar hospitals in Tehran, Iran who were selected using a continuous sampling method and based on inclusion criteria from June 2018 to August 2019. Data were collected using a demographic/fertility form, the modified Ferriman-Gallwey Scale, Ludwig Hair Loss Scale, and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation test, and multiple linear regression analysis. Findings: The mean MAAS score of women was 68.61±9.88 and was significantly correlated with age (P=0.01), wife’s education (P=0.001), wife’s occupation (P=0.005), economic status (P=0.02), husband satisfaction with wife’s body and appearance (P=0.02), body mass index (P=0.01), and duration of marriage (P
