Nurses-led health education intervention session was conducted for all the patients. Data was collected using the self-administered polycystic ovaries syndrome quality of life scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 26. Of the 50 females, 26(52%) were aged 26-35 years. There was a significance difference between baseline and postintervention scores across all domains of quality of life (p<0.05). Also, baseline body mass index of the participants was 30.4±4.711 which went down post-intervention to 29.4±4.800 (p<0.001).
