Harnessing the power of midwifery: Transforming self-efficacy and health navigation among women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
The impact of a midwife-led intervention on self-efficacy and health information-seeking behavior (HISB) in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is of interest. Sixty women were divided into an experimental and a control group, with the experimental group receiving a structured intervention over four weeks. Results showed significant improvements in self-efficacy and HISB in the experimental group, compared to no change in the control group. Thus, we show that midwife-led interventions effectively empower women by enhancing their ability to manage PCOS. It emphasizes the importance of integrating such interventions into routine gynecological care.
