Provider (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) education about PCOS is necessary to enhance timely diagnosis and implement individualized treatment strategies. Non\u2010advanced practice nurses are in a unique position to have an impact on patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes by providing and reinforcing patient education, coordinating management processes, counselling via telephone or in\u2010person appointments and facilitating referrals to ancillary providers. Evidence\u2010based and accessible psychosocial supports and interventions will lead to improved self\u2010esteem and effective coping skills, and reduced stigma\u2010related stress. Lastly, policy changes are warranted to address access to care, health insurance inequities and inadequate funding for PCOS\u2010related research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Increased awareness of PCOS and its biopsychosocial aspects will aid providers with timely diagnosis and meaningful treatment plans. Women with PCOS will gain acknowledgment, acceptance, and insight towards health care and self\u2010management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.14371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,26]],"date-time":"2020-03-26T04:14:54Z","timestamp":1585196094000},"page":"1728-1736","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Social construction of biopsychosocial and medical experiences of women with polycystic ovary syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"76","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3889-3636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pamela J.","family":"Wright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Advancing Chronic Care through Research and iNnovation Center (ACORN Center) University of South Carolina Columbia SC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin M.","family":"Dawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advancing Chronic Care through Research and iNnovation Center (ACORN Center) University of South Carolina Columbia SC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cynthia F.","family":"Corbett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Advancing Chronic Care through Research and iNnovation Center (ACORN Center) University of South Carolina Columbia SC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"Azziz R.(2019).Epidemiology and pathogenesis of the polycystic ovary syndrome in adults.
