摘要

Objectives

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT) combined with lifestyle interventions versus lifestyle interventions alone on the mental health of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods

Participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to one of three groups: (1) P-Milife intervention (MiCBT combined with lifestyle interventions); (2) lifestyle interventions alone; or (3) control. The intervention lasted 8 weeks and was delivered through online and offline individual sessions. Using the intention-to-treat principle, generalized estimating equations (GEE) were employed to assess intervention effects on mental health outcomes.

Results

The P-Milife intervention significantly reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in PCOS patients compared to the control group, with mean differences of −3.41 (p < 0.001) and −4.17 (p < 0.001), respectively. It also decreased the odds of concurrent anxiety and depression (OR = 0.210, p < 0.001), facilitated weight loss (mean difference = −0.73 kg, p < 0.001), reduced body image distress (mean difference = 3.61, p = 0.001), and improved subjective well-being (mean difference = 1.31, p < 0.001). In contrast, lifestyle interventions alone reduced depressive symptoms (mean difference = −3.27, p < 0.001) and aided in weight management (mean difference = −0.52 kg, p < 0.001) but did not significantly impact anxiety or subjective well-being.

Conclusions

Integrating MiCBT with lifestyle interventions demonstrates superior efficacy in promoting mental health for individuals with PCOS compared to lifestyle intervention alone, offering a novel and holistic strategy for managing this condition. The P-Milife intervention program may support nurses and other healthcare professionals in addressing the mental health concerns of women with PCOS. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Preregistration
