Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To examine the fear of negative evaluation as a predictor, and to explore the association of social anxiety with psychological correlates among women with polycystic ovaries.
UNASSIGNED: The cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2020 to November 2021 after approval form the University of Central Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised unmarried women aged 18-26 diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. The sample was raised from different clinics and hospitals based in Lahore and Gujranwala cities. The sample was divided into obese, hirsutism and acne vulgaris groups. Data was collected using a demographic proforma along with standardised Derriford Appearance Scale, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, University of California, Los Angeles, Loneliness Scale and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
RESULTS: Of the 180 patients, 60(33.3%) were in each of the 3 groups. The overall mean age was 21.4+/-2.27 years. A significant association of fear of negative evaluation was found with appearance distress, social anxiety and loneliness (p<0.05). The fear of negative evaluation and appearance distress also significantly predicted loneliness in the subjects (p<0.01). The obese group scored significantly higher in terms of fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety compared to the other groups (p<0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Women with polycystic ovaries were found to be suffering from adverse psychological outcomes and social anxiety.

摘要：
目的：检查对负面评价的恐惧作为预测因子，并探讨多囊卵巢女性的社交焦虑与心理相关性。
■横断面研究是在中央旁遮普大学批准后，于2020年8月至2021年11月进行的，拉合尔,巴基斯坦,包括18-26岁被诊断患有多囊卵巢综合征的未婚女性。样本来自拉合尔和古吉兰瓦拉市的不同诊所和医院。样本分为肥胖，多毛症和寻常痤疮组。数据是使用人口统计形式和标准化的Derriford外观量表收集的，对负面评价量表的简短恐惧，加州大学,洛杉矶,孤独量表和社会互动焦虑量表。使用SPSS24对数据进行分析。
结果：在180名患者中，3组每组60例（33.3％）。总体平均年龄为21.4+/-2.27岁。发现对负面评价的恐惧与外观困扰存在显着关联，社交焦虑和孤独感(p<0.05)。对负面评价和外表困扰的恐惧也显着预测了受试者的孤独感（p<0.01）。肥胖组在对负面评价的恐惧和社交焦虑方面得分明显高于其他组（p<0.05）。
■患有多囊卵巢的女性被发现患有不良的心理结局和社交焦虑。
