“…23 Furthermore, the condition that the surgery is being performed for, in itself, may be responsible for the feelings of anxiety and depression. We cannot determine which of these stresses is the most important as the decision for hysterectomy was made prior to administration of the CES-D score.…”

“…Previously, some authors have been concerned that hysterectomy may increase psychiatric morbidity. In fact, it would seem that the opposite may be more likely as many women are depressed and anxious prior to surgery 25,28 . There is now a body of literature suggesting a decrease in psychological symptoms following hysterectomy 4,6,7,29–31 …”

“…Hysterectomy reaches its peak occurrence rate in women who are between 45 and 54 years of age 10 . Although the immediate physical complications associated with hysterectomy are similar to those of any major abdominal surgery, even the prospect of hysterectomy is said to engender more stress than other comparable surgeries 11 . The physiological response to stress puts women at risk for more negative surgical outcomes.…”

This study used a theoretical model to determine whether an efficacy-enhancing teaching protocol was effective in improving immediate postoperative behaviors and selected short- and long-term health outcomes in women who underwent abdominal hysterectomies. The model used was the self-efficacy theory of Albert Bandura, PhD. One hundred eight patients in a 486-bed teaching hospital in the Midwest who underwent hysterectomies participated. The participation rate was 85%, and the attrition rate was 17% during the six-month study. The major finding was that participants in the efficacy-enhancing teaching group ambulated significantly longer than participants in the usual care group. This is an important finding because the most prevalent postoperative complications after hysterectomy are atelectasis, pneumonia, paralytic ileus, and deep vein thrombosis, and postoperative ambulation has been shown to decrease or prevent all of these complications. This finding could affect the overall health status of women undergoing hysterectomies.
