Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by irregular periods, high androgen levels, and ovarian cysts. Though its exact cause is unclear, genetic and environmental factors, along with insulin resistance, play a role, but proper management can help control symptoms and reduce complications Objectives: 1) To assess the pre – test knowledge score regarding management of polycystic ovarian syndrome among the young female adult of selected senior colleges. 2) To assess the effectiveness of information booklet on knowledge regarding management of polycystic ovarian syndrome among the young female adult of selected senior colleges. 3) To find the association of pre-test knowledge of study findings with selected demographic variables. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted on 80 young female adults using non-probability convenience sampling. After IEC approval and consent, baseline knowledge was assessed, followed by an information booklet on PCOS management. A post-test after seven days measured knowledge improvement, analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: This study assessed the effectiveness of an information booklet on PCOS management among 70 young female adults. Pre-test knowledge was poor or average in most participants, but post-test scores showed significant improvement (mean: 22.42 ± 4.203, t = 17.074, p < 0.01). Age, family income, and health status were significantly associated with knowledge levels. The study demonstrated high reliability (0.866) and strong correlation (0.861), confirming the intervention’s effectiveness. Conclusion: The study confirmed the booklet’s effectiveness in increasing PCOS knowledge (p < 0.01), with age, income, and health status as key factors. Findings highlight the need for targeted education for young women. Future research should explore similar studies on a larger scale.
