Uvod: Sindrom policističnih jajčnikov (ang. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ? PCOS) je najbolj pogosta endokrina motnja pri ženskah v reproduktivni dobi. Na podlagi še razmeroma majhnega števila raziskav se pri ženskah z diagnosticiranim PCOS opaža povečana razširjenost različnih motenj na področju duševnega zdravja, ki vplivajo na razpoloženje in težave na duševnem področju. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil, s pregledom strokovne literature, preučiti in predstaviti, kako je PCOS povezan z duševnim zdravjem žensk s poudarkom na psihičnih težavah, s katerimi se srečujejo ženske s tem sindromom, katere duševne motnje so pri njih najbolj pogoste ter kakšna je vloga medicinske sestre pri njihovi obravnavi. Metode dela: Za nastanek diplomskega dela je bila uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela. Narejen je bil pregled domače in tuje strokovne literature o povezanosti med PCOS in duševnim zdravjem žensk. Izbiranje literature je potekalo v obdobju od aprila 2022 do julija 2022 v naslednjih podatkovnih bazah: PubMED, Google Scholar, CINAHL. Za iskanje so uporabljene ključne besede v angleškem in slovenskem jeziku. Oblikovani so naslednji iskalni nizi: PCOS IN duševno zdravje/PCOS AND mental health, duševne motnje IN PCOS/psychiatric disorder AND PCOS, PCOS IN zdravstvena nega/PCOS AND nursing. Članki, ki so vključeni v pregled literature, so objavljeni med letoma 2010 in 2022.Rezultati: Analiziranih je bilo 27 člankov. Rezultati kažejo, da imajo ženske zaradi PCOS večje tveganje za slabše duševno zdravje. Najbolj pogoste duševne motnje pri njih so anksioznost, depresija, težave s spanjem, avtizem, motnje hranjenja, spolna disfunkcija, motnja pozornosti s hiperaktivnostjo (ADHD), bipolarna motnja in shizofrenija. Vloga medicinskih sester je pri obravnavi žensk s PCOS zelo pomembna, saj lahko bistveno pripomorejo k izboljšanju zdravstvenega stanja žensk. Razprava in zaključek: PCOS vpliva na pojav duševnih motenj pri ženskah, njihova prisotnost se povezuje s samo simptomatiko sindroma. Pravočasna prepoznava potencialnih duševnih motenj je bistvenega pomena, ker pripomore k hitrejšemu izboljšanju izidov zdravljenja. Strokovne literature, z izjemo literature o povezanosti PCOS z depresijo in anksioznostjo, je trenutno zelo malo, zato poudarjamo potrebo po nadaljnjih raziskavah, ki bodo bolj obširno preučile razširjenost vseh duševnih motenj pri ženskah s PCOS.

• Title: The impact of polycystic ovary syndrome on women’s mental health : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Based on a still relatively small number of studies, women diagnosed with PCOS are found to have an elevated prevalence of various mental health disorders that affect mood and psychological problems. Purpose: The aim of this diploma work is to review the literature and present how PCOS is related to women's mental health, focusing on the psychological problems faced by women with PCOS, which mental disorders are most common in women with PCOS, and the role of the nurse in their treatment. Methods: A descriptive method of work was used in this thesis. We made a review of domestic and foreign literature on the relationship between PCOS and women's mental health. The literature search was limited on the period between April 2022 and July 2022 in the following databases: PubMED, Google Scholar, CINAHL. We used the following keywords in English and Slovenian: PCOS AND mental health/PCOS IN duševno zdravje, PCOS AND psychiatric disorders/PCOS IN duševne motnje, PCOS AND nursing/PCOS IN zdravstvena nega. The articles included in the literature review were published between 2010 and 2022. Results: We analysed 27 articles. The results show us that PCOS puts women at a greater risk of poor mental health. The most common mental disorders they suffer from are anxiety and depression, sleep problems, autism, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The role of nurses in treatment of women with PCOS is very important, because they can make a significant contribution to improving women's health. Discussion and conclusion: PCOS has an impact on the occurrence of mental disorders in women and their presence is associated with the symptomatology of the syndrome. Early identification of the potential mental disorders is essential to improve treatment outcomes. Currently, relevant literature is relatively rare, with the exception of literature on PCOS and depression and anxiety. Therefore, there is a huge need for new studies, extensively investigating the prevalence of all mental problems in women with PCOS.
