Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Objective: The aim is to develop a mobile application based on the Health Promotion Model for the management of PCOS and to determine the effect of this application on improving nutrition and exercise behavior in women with PCOS. Method: The study population will consist of 114 women diagnosed with PCOS according to the Rotterdam criteria (2003) by a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology (G power 3.1.9.7). Inclusion criteria are being over 18 years old, female, diagnosed with PCOS, willingness to participate in the study, owning a smartphone with Android or iOS operating system, having digital literacy, and not having a diagnosed psychiatric condition. Exclusion criteria include being pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study, having musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, or cardiovascular diseases, undergoing any surgery or having health issues that could affect physical activity for more than a month, unwillingness to participate in the study for any reason, and not having internet access. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will receive a PCOS-specific exercise and nutrition program through the mobile app based on the Health Promotion Model, while the control group will receive the program via a pamphlet and it will be applied over 8 weeks. The mobile application will include an exercise program, nutrition counseling, and health coaching for PCOS management, all aligned with the Health Promotion Model. At the beginning and end of the study, participants' blood measurements, anthropometric measurements, physical activity levels, exercise behavior, and adherence to the Mediterranean Diet will be evaluated.
