The research aimed to highlight the effectiveness of the biopsychosocial-Spiritual (BPSS) model and to understand the interactions among PCOS clients' physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs. Randomization group design was used in this research. Purposive sampling was utilized to collect the data, and the sample size was determined with the help of G-power analysis. A total of 40 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, ranging in age from 18 to 35, participated in this study. Several gynecology departments of Lahore provided data. The experimental group was then given BPSS therapy, treatment was administered in group settings on participants and a homogenous setting was maintained for each session. The session was conducted 4 days per week. The control group received no psychological, social, or spiritual treatment. In descriptive statistics, percentages and frequencies were computed, paired sample t-test were used in the study before and after the assessment of the biopsychosocial-spiritual model, and t-tests were used to compare the results of the control and experimental group.  The results depict a significant difference (p<.05) between the control and experimental groups. The importance of employing a biopsychosocial-spiritual model was highlighted in the current study for controlling polycystic ovary syndrome patients' symptoms. Such a strategy would make it easier for these people to overcome obstacles in different areas of their lives. As a result, it would greatly enhance their general coping abilities and day-to-day functioning.
