Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease of women of reproductive age, yet it remains undiagnosed for many women. The reason the syndrome is often not diagnosed or is misdiagnosed is because PCOS can present with a variety of abnormalities that can be present in other endocrine dysfunctions. With appropriate diagnosis and management, the patient may delay or prevent negative physical and psychological consequences brought on by this syndrome. Maternity nurses can serve a vital role in this process, improving screening rates, referral and patient education. The aim of this study was to implementation and evaluation of effectiveness of educating program for upgrading nurses' knowledge regarding PCOS at maternity clinics of all medical health centers in Port Said City. Design: a quasi- experimental one-group pre test/ posttest design was adopted for the study. The sample included 50 nurses working in those clinics. Tool: A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess nurses' socio-demographic data and their knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome. Results: The result showed that the nurses lack of knowledge about PCOS and there is a statistically significant difference in the mean of pre test and posttest scores (P= < 0.001). There was no significant association between level of knowledge and socio- demographic variables. Conclusion: This study reflects the need for staff development program to increase maternity nurses' level of knowledge related to PCOS.
