    OBJECTIVE: The study evaluated the opinions of polycystic ovary syndrome on the life quality of women. METHODS: A total of 249 women with polycystic ovary syndrome participated in this descriptive study between October 2022 and July 2023 in Istanbul, Turkey. FINDINGS: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Quality of Life was significantly correlated with age (p=0.000) and frequent weight loss diets (p=0.000) (p<0.01). Among the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Quality of Life total score and polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms, those with hormone imbalance and insulin resistance had the highest mean scores, while those with menstrual irregularity and fatigue had the lowest. CONCLUSION: Advancing age changes the quality of life of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. To prevent the negative impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on women’s quality of life, it is recommended that health professionals develop effective care plans utilizing available evidence.

    Women’s perspectives on abortion and spirituality in Turkey
    (Springer, 2024) Ak, Eda Yakıt; Şen, Mehmet Ali; Akdemir, Arzu; Tandoğan, Özden
    To investigate the opinions of women residing in Turkey regarding abortion and its correlation with spirituality. A descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study included 487 women and data was collected between October and December 2023. The Descriptive Information Form, Stigmatizing Attitudes, Beliefs and Actions Scale (SABAS), and Spirituality Scale (SS) were used to evaluate the data and determine the correlation between them. Of the women surveyed, 78.6% reported no prior experience with curettage. The participants had low SABAS scores (26.95 ± 7.43) and high SS scores (22.50 ± 5.80). Age, education, employment status, religious affiliation, history of curettage, age at first childbirth, number of children, and number of siblings were all significantly correlated with SABAS and SS (p < 0.05). Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between the participants’ SABAS total score and all sub-factor scores, as well as their SS total scores. It was also determined that as women’s stigmatization and negative attitudes towards curettage increased, their spiritual feelings increased as well (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between SS score and age and SABAS, and a negative correlation was found with the number of births (p < 0.05). It was found that women’s stigmatizing attitudes towards abortion were influenced by their spiritual beliefs. To prevent women from being caught between the consequences of unwanted pregnancies and their spiritual beliefs, it is important to meet their needs for family planning and health counseling.
