        abstract = {Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects adolescent and young women globally, with increasing incidence in India.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching programme in enhancing knowledge regarding PCOS among first-year B.Sc. Nursing students.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted. Sixty first-year B.Sc. Nursing students were selected using simple random sampling from nursing colleges in galgotias school of nursing. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, before and after the intervention.
Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 16.39±4.04, which increased to 21.07±3.42 post-intervention. Paired t-test revealed a significant improvement in knowledge (t=5.44, p<0.0001). Pre-test results showed 67% had inadequate knowledge, while post-test results showed 89% had adequate knowledge.
Conclusion: The video-assisted teaching programme was highly effective in improving knowledge about PCOS. Such programmes should be integrated into nursing education to increase awareness and prevention of PCOS.},
