Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a medical phenomenon experienced by many women, even in the Philippines. Despite the prevalence of this condition, early literature has noted that women remain unaware of its components, consequences, and potential solutions. This study described how professional Filipinas use PCOS preventive and mitigative practices (PPMP) and how it correlates to their level of PCOS awareness, PCOS attitudes, and fertility intentions. Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlation design, this study disseminated survey questionnaires and received one hundred forty-four (144) responses from professional Filipinas within Metro Manila. These women have either been diagnosed with PCOS or have been experiencing PCOS-like symptoms for, at least, less than a year. Findings revealed that these women were inconsistent with their PPMP, wherein strong, positive correlations to their level of PCOS awareness and PCOS attitudes were seen. This was consistent with the health-seeking behavior model. Whereas correlation between PPMP and fertility intentions were not statistically significant, implying that outcome motivators are not factors that contribute to the success of the PPMP implementation. Findings have strong implications for healthcare, education, policy, and workforce. Future research should examine the differences between professional and non-professional Filipinas, barriers to PPMP implementation, PPMP preference reasoning, and longitudinal approaches to understand how PCOS affects women throughout their lives.
