Data were then analyzed with SPSS software version 20 using statistical methods including pearson’s coefficient , regression, T-test and multivariate analysis of variance

The observed difference in self efficacy between subject and healthy groups was not statistically significant, also there was a positive correlation between self efficacy and marital adjustment in PCOS and healthy groups and self efficacy could predict marital adjustment.
Conclusion: Considering the marital adjustment and its relationship with PCOS in both groups, it seems essential to increase awareness, screening and referring process in order to take advantage of the advisory services.
