PCOSQ was developed by Cronin et al. (1998) to measure the quality of life of women with PCOS. It consists of 26 items that evaluate five domains: emotions (items 2, 4, 6, 11, 14, 17, 18, 20), hirsutism (items 1, 9, 15, 16, 26), weight (items 3, 10, 12, 22, 24), infertility problems (items 5, 13, 23, 25), and menstrual problems (items 7, 8, 19, 21) [In this study, the reliability of questionnaires was confirmed by testing on 20 people and determining internal consistency. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.894, 0.772, and 0.832 for STAI, BDI and PCOSQ.
