Gynecological problems of adolescents occupy a special in the spectrum of gynecological disorders of all ages. Although PCOS is a common disorder, the diagnosis may be overlooked during adolescence, as irregular menses with anovulatory cycles, obesity and acne are frequent in adolescent women. The incidence of PCOS among adolescents is estimated to be between 11 and 26% and about 50% are overweight. A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome among female computer engineering students at selected colleges of metropolitan city. The Objectives were to determine the effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Programme on knowledge regrading students to associate the demographic variables with level of knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome among female computer engineering students. The video assisted teaching program on knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome was given by the investigator to the study participants, pre and post test was done by using structured multiple-choice questionnaire. Data analysis done by using descriptive statistics i.e. frequency, percentage and central tendency and inferential statistics i.e. Non-Parametric test and chi-square test. The result revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between pre and post-test knowledge regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome among young women at level p<0.001. This study implied that creating awareness on PCOS will prevent the occurrence of PCOS among female computer engineering students.

Method: A quantitative approach of pre-experimental research design with one group pre and post-test design was chosen for this study. A total of 60 samples were recruited by using non-probability sampling technique.

Discussion: Here, it was found that the study participants in pre-test 54 (95%) was poor knowledge, 3 (5%) was good knowledge and in Post-test 60 (100%) had excellent knowledge.

Conclusion: The video assisted teaching was an effective tool to raise the knowledge of female engineering students regarding polycystic ovarian syndrome.
