Abstract

This international cross-sectional study examined the level and potential correlates of self and body compassion in women (ํ‘›=227) with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Participants completed an online survey examining quality of life, psychological health, body image and self and body compassion. Low levels of self and body compassion were found, with depression and body image concern identified as negative correlates of self and body compassion. Physical health was identified as a positive correlate of body compassion. The findings identify the important relationship between body image, psychological health and self and body compassion in women with PCOS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
