People of reproductive age are frequently affected with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder with a range of clinical, hormonal, and metabolic features. The goal of this review paper is to give a thorough summary of the clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, aetiology, epidemiology, and treatment options for PCOS. Between 5% and 20% of women in reproductive age worldwide are estimated to have PCOS. This syndrome is widely known for being complicated, involving both environmental factors and genetic predisposition. Common clinical symptoms include irregular menstruation, hyperandrogenism, and an ultrasound that reveals polycystic ovarian morphology. Although there are other sets of diagnostic criteria, including the National Institutes of Health standards and the Rotterdam criteria, a precise diagnosis is still necessary. Those with PCOS are more likely to develop metabolic problems such as obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. An elevated risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and infertility are among the long-term health consequences. The primary objectives of therapeutic interventions, which are tailored to the patient's presentation and goals and involve both lifestyle modifications and pharmacological therapies, are improvements in hormonal imbalances, metabolic abnormalities, and reproductive outcomes. This study compiles the most recent findings and clinical observations to improve healthcare professionals' comprehension of PCOS.

Background: Sleep quality is one of the important aspects among nurses as it has a significant impact on nurses’ work productivity, and work quality and is found to be associated with quality of life for nurses. Purpose: This study aims to assess the sleep quality among Saudi nurses. Method: This cross-sectional study included 323 Saudi nurses to measure their sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The study included 75% female and 25% male, with an advantage for age 25-34 (36.9%). The majority (61.61%) held a bachelor's degree in nursing, 49.11% were unmarried, 46.73% were married, 56.55% had fixed morning shifts, and 43.45% had shift days. 27.08% of participants had experienced 10 to 20 years of working experience. The study found that 67.86% had moderate sleep difficulty, followed by mild sleep difficulty, while only 2.08% had severe sleep difficulty. In addition, It was found that female (176.9) was significantly higher than male (143.3) in sleep difficulty (U=8467, p<0.01=0.002). It was found the distribution is significantly different in terms of age (X2=10.52, p<0.05=0.02), and the post hoc (pairwise test) found that the 25-34 group (185.81) was higher than the 35.44 group (143.79). It was found that shift day (189.32) was significantly higher than Fixed morning shift (152.5) in sleep difficulty (U=1083.5, p<0.01=0.006). It was found that female (176.9) was higher than male (143.3) in sleep difficulty (U=8467, p<0.01=0.006). Conclusion: This study examined Saudi nurses' sleep difficulties and related factors in a specific healthcare setting. The findings highlight sleep difficulties and their causes in this population. The study findings emphasize the need to treat sleep difficulties among Saudi nurses to improve their well-being and job effectiveness. Healthcare organizations should promote sleep hygiene and provide sleep management resources. This may involve mental health education, scheduling changes, and support.

Introduction: During their placements in healthcare establishments, nursing students are assigned to members of the nursing staff who, as tutors, are responsible for supporting and assessing them as part of their professional training [1]. As such, it is vital that the hospital environments hosting these students pay the utmost attention to how these placements are carried out. This study explored our respondents' perceptions of the quality of teaching supervision during their clinical placements at the Bandundu general referral hospital (HGR). We opted for a qualitative, case study approach. Data were collected from individual, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 9 third-year graduate students. The aim of these interviews was to gather information based on the students' previous experiences of their placements. Materials and Method: The analysis method used for this research was content analysis, also known as thematic content analysis. The data were analysed using ATLAS.ti7 software. A main theme was identified for this study. Three sub-themes emerged from this central theme: students' perceptions of their needs in terms of teaching support, their perceptions of the teaching strategies used by the support staff, and their perceptions of the quality of the training provided by the support staff in the field. Results: With regard to teaching support needs, it is important to emphasise the lack of prior and intermediate assessment, the inadequacy of care materials, the excessive number of trainees, the lack of support for assessment, the failure to comply with placement objectives and the lack of autonomy, all of which appear to hinder students' learning progress in the clinical environment. With regard to teaching strategies, it is interesting to note that the methods of education, training and advice were more frequently mentioned than those of confrontation. With regard to the quality of training, the majority of participants judged supervision at the placement to be satisfactory. Conclusion: Although the majority of students were satisfied with the quality of the supervision they received at their placement, the results suggest the need for innovation in current approaches to clinical teaching in order to foster student autonomy and enable them to develop essential skills.
