ABSTRACT
Polycystic ovary syndrome or disease is an endocrine disorder which can impact female’s Quality of life and increase their level of anxiety. The objective of this research was to examine the relationship between Anxiety and Quality of life in females with PCOS/PCOD. There were a total 99 females who participated and were asked to fill out two questionnaire forms on Quality of life (QOLS) and Anxiety (STAI). The results showed that there is negative correlation between Anxiety and Quality of life in females diagnosed with PCOS/PCOD (r = -.541, p<0.01) and the correlation of Quality of Life and State Anxiety obtained was r = -.497, p<0.01, which indicates that it is moderately correlated. It can be concluded that the Quality of life will decrease with the increase in level of Anxiety in females diagnosed with PCOS/PCOD.
