Panoramica dello studio

Descrizione dettagliata
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with infertility, body image disturbances, anxiety, and psychological stress. Women diagnosed with PCOS often experience fertility-related concerns and impaired self-perception due to symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, acne, and obesity.
Self-compassion is considered a protective psychosocial factor that supports emotional resilience and psychological well-being. Recently, complementary and integrative approaches have gained attention for improving emotional and psychological outcomes in women's health.
Theta Healing is a meditation- and awareness-based complementary approach designed to promote emotional transformation through relaxation, visualization, positive cognitive restructuring, and subconscious belief work.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of a structured Theta Healing-based intervention on fertility concerns, self-compassion, and body image in women diagnosed with PCOS. Participants will be randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a structured 5-day Theta Healing-based online intervention program including meditation, visualization, relaxation exercises, positive affirmations, subconscious awareness practices, and self-compassion-focused exercises. The control group will continue routine care without additional intervention.
Outcome measures will be collected at baseline and 6 weeks after the intervention using validated scales.

Fertility Anxiety Score
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
|
Fertility anxiety will be assessed using the Fertility Anxiety Questionnaire (FAQ), a researcher-developed questionnaire created based on an extensive literature review and expert consultation.
The instrument consists of 12 items organized into three domains: Future-Oriented Concerns (Items 1-4), Social Pressure and Expectations (Items 5-8), and Information and Support Seeking (Items 9-12).
Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Strongly Disagree) to 4 (Strongly Agree).
Total scores range from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating greater fertility-related anxiety and concern regarding reproductive potential and future childbearing.

Body self-compassion will be assessed using the Body Self-Compassion Scale (BSCS), which was culturally adapted and validated for the Turkish population.
The scale consists of 21 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).
Total scores range from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating greater body-related self-compassion.
The scale evaluates three dimensions: Isolation, Body Acceptance, and Common Humanity.
The reported Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale is 0.89.

The scale consists of 21 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).
Total scores range from 21 to 105.
Higher scores indicate a more negative body image perception.
