Objective To analyze the impact of nursing based on the "Information-Knowledge-belief-Behavior" (IKAP) model on obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Sixty obese patients with PCOS admitted to the gynecology department of our hospital from March 2021 to March 2025.were selected. They were randomly included in the control group (30 cases) and the observation group (30 cases) by random number table, and received routine care and care based on the IKAP model respectively. Compare the health behaviors, body mass index, sex hormones (FSH, LH), and patient satisfaction of the two groups. Results The health behaviors of the observation group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). The FSH level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the body mass index and LH were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion For obese PCOS, implementing nursing based on the IKAP model can transform patients' health behaviors, regulate sex hormone levels, and reduce body mass index, which has been recognized.
