Abstract

In this study, the relationship between emotional character and depression and anxiety in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome was investigated. The present research was a descriptive-correlational study. The population of the study included all people with polycystic ovary in 2012 of Ardabil city. A sample of 100 patients was selected from among patients referring to specialized clinics and Caucasus Infertility Center. To collect the data, the scales of emotional character, Beck Depression and perceived anxiety questionnaires were used. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression analysis were employed.  The data analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the emotional character and depression and anxiety in the participants (p < .01). Based on the results of multivariate regression, the dimensions of emotional character were able to predict the depression and anxiety in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (p < .01). These results have some significant implications for improving the mental health of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Therefore, by using the dimensions of emotional personality of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, anxiety and depression can be reduced in them.
