- W2124612410 abstract "OBJECTIVE: To evaluate PCOS patients' perceptions, experiences and satisfaction regarding healthcare in terms of the diagnosis, treatment and management of their condition.DESIGN: Using an online survey, 1,555 women with PCOS completed questions about demographics; general health; reproductive and menstrual history; healthcare; knowledge; diagnosis; symptoms; coping; and treatment.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Through descriptive analyses and Pearson chi-square tests, we described patients regarding their perceptions, experiences and satisfaction with diagnosis, treatment, and management, as well as differences among those who sought care from various healthcare providers.RESULTS: On average, it took 31.3 months to receive a PCOS diagnosis with nearly 30% visiting 4 or more doctors. Weight issues were the most important problem for seeking care. Over the past 12 months, 55.1% of patients saw an ob/gyn followed by family practitioner (35.4%), medical endocrinologist (17.3%) and RE (16.3%). Using a five-point Likert scale (with 5 being excellent), patients seeing an RE were most satisfied with their healthcare (3.7). These patients reported higher levels of satisfaction with regard to referrals made to other healthcare providers (p<.05). Medical endocrinologists received an average rating of 3.3 with patients being most satisfied with dietary counseling (p<.01) and feeling well-cared for (p<.05). Ob/gyns were rated 3.2, and patients were most satisfied with their provider's knowledge about PCOS (p<.05). Family practitioners were rated the lowest (2.8). Patients were especially dissatisfied with the lack multiple treatment options (p<.05) and not feeling well cared for (p<.05).CONCLUSION: PCOS is a complex condition requiring a multi-disciplinary medical approach. Is important that we further investigate ways to integrate the strengths of all involved medical disciplines to develop a comprehensive standard of care that will best meet the needs of PCOS patients and effectively address the myriad of symptoms they experience.
