REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of literature is one of the most important steps in the research process. It is an
account of what is already known about particular phenomenon. The main purpose of literature
review is to convey to the readers about the work already done and the knowledge and ideas
that have been already established on a particular topic of research. A literature review is an
account of the previous efforts and achievement of scholars and researcher on a phenomenon.
Actually, it is of discursive prose, and not a least describing or summarizing one piece of
literature after another.
Before starting any research, a literature review of previous studies and experiences
related to proposed investigation has to be done. One of the most satisfied aspects of literature
review is the contribution it makes to the new knowledge, insight, and general scholarship of
the researchers.
Marzieh Saei Ghare Naz,1 Fahimeh Ramezani Tehrani,2 Giti Ozgoli (2019) the study
conducted on, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in adolescents: a qualitative study, Fifteen adolescents
aged 13–19 years with PCOS participated the study revealed that, The analysis of the data helped
extract the main theme of the research as “dealing with PCOS”. The main theme consisted of
three themes and 12 sub-theme: (1) Escaping the problem (sub-themes: Adopting a forgetting
mindset, and concealment and minimization of the disorder); (2) Depressive mood (sub-themes:
Poor self-perception and low self-esteem, isolation, sleep disturbances, passive aggressive
behavior, emotional turmoil, feelings of humiliation, and adolescents’ perceptions); and (3) Coping
with the disease (sub-themes: Recovery of health, positive thinking, hope for recovery).the study
concluded that, In this study, the adolescents with PCOS showed a coping response to their
disorder in the form of problem-solving, developing a depressive mood or adjusting to the disorder.
Recognizing the mental health needs of these adolescents and improving their quality of life
require the identification of ways through which they deal with PCOS.
Amal Alessa, Dalal Alied, Sara Almutairi, etc.all (2017), conducted a cross- sectional study
to assess the level of knowledge of PCOS among 2000 women of age group (18-50) in Saudi
Arabia. The study revealed that the level of knowledge of PCOS was significantly related
higher educational level and woman with health college qualification. The study concluded that
there is a high level of awareness of PCOS among Saudi Arabia.
Nitin Joseph, Aditya G.R.Reddy, Divya Joy, Vishakha patel, (2016), conducted a
cross sectional study to assess the proportion of university students with PCOS among 480
participants in Mangalore city in Karnataka state. The study revealed that 39 were already
diagnosed with PCOS, 40 were at high risk and 401 were at low risk for PCOS. The study
concluded that PCOS is a common disorder among young women in this setting and this
warrants provide screening activities.

Nirantharakumar(2021)conducted on, Increased COVID-19 infections in women with polycystic
ovary syndrome: a population-based studyThe study revealed that, We identified 21 292 women
with a coded diagnosis of PCO/PCOS and randomly selected 78 310 aged and general practice
matched control women. The crude COVID-19 incidence was 18.1 and 11.9 per 1000 person-
years among women with and without PCOS, respectively. Age-adjusted Cox regression analysis
suggested a 51% higher risk of COVID-19 among women with PCOS compared to women without
PCOS (HR: 1.51 (95% CI: 1.27–1.80), P < 0.001). After adjusting for age and BMI, HR reduced to
1.36 (1.14–1.63)], P = 0.001. In the fully adjusted model, women with PCOS had a 28% increased
risk of COVID-19 (aHR: 1.28 (1.05–1.56), P = 0.015).the study concluded that, Women with PCOS
are at an increased risk of COVID-19 infection and should be specifically encouraged to adhere to
infection control measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A.Aarthi,(2019).the study conducted on, a study to assess the effectiveness of video assisted
teaching programme on awareness and attitude regarding early identification and management of
polycystic ovarian syndrome among adolescent girls in selected colleges at Madurai. The study
result showed that, in control group, pretest mean score of awareness was 11.43 ±3.07 the
posttest mean score was 12.27±sd 2.65, the mean difference was 0.84. the obtained “t” value was
1.85, which was not statistically significant. • in experimental group, pretest mean score of
awareness was 11.70 ±2.48 the posttest mean score was 21.03±sd 1.42, the mean difference was
9.33. the obtained “t” value was 29.90, which was statistically highly significant. in control group
posttest mean score of attitude was 53.27±5.48. in experimental group posttest mean score was
73.77±4.94, the mean difference was 20.50. the obtained “t” value was 15.20, which was
statistically highly significant.the study concluded that, video teaching is effective by improving the
awareness and attitude among adolescent girls.
Khushbu Patel(2017).the study conducted on, A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Planned
Teaching Program on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Terms of Knowledge and Attitude among
Adolescent Girls in Selected Higher Secondary Schools of Ahmedabad City. the study result
showed that, Adolescent girls had inadequate knowledge (76.67 %) and (23.33%) had moderately
adequate knowledge in pre-test after planned teaching program 48.33 % had moderately
adequate knowledge, 50.00% had adequate knowledge and 1.66% had inadequate knowledge.
Regarding the attitude level 80% of Adolescent girls had unfavourable attitude and 20 % had
favourable attitude in pre-test. In post-test 55% had favourable attitude and 45 % had
unfavourable attitude. Paired‘t’ test was applied to compare pre-test and post-test mean and
standard deviation. Knowledge and attitude level of Adolescent girls on Polycystic ovarian
syndrome was statistically significant. There was significant association between pre-test
knowledge and attitude with demographic variables such as Age, Age of menarche, Stream of
study and family income per month. which was statistically confirmed with chi-square test.
