Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is highly prevalent and increasingly diagnosed during adolescence. This study explored the context and processes of self-management among adolescents, and parents of adolescents, who have PCOS. Adolescents with PCOS (n = 7) and their parents (n = 8) participated in a series of focus groups. Deductive thematic analysis was guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory (IFSMT), and the patterns that were identified aligned with the contexts and processes described therein. A secondary inductive approach was employed as a novel contextual pattern emerged: psychological health and well-being. Study findings suggest that adolescents and their families have a desire to engage in optimal self-management, and particularly effective strategies may consider a holistic, family intervention approach that addresses psychological health and well-being in addition to behavior change. Study findings are the first to reflect the unique needs of adolescents with PCOS and their families.
