A study to determine the characteristics of posthospitalization recovery after hysterectomy was designed and implemented. Explicit consideration was given to women's feelings of sexuality and the fears and myths which precede and follow the surgery. Retrospective and current self-report data on four major areas were obtained: a) physical changes, b) emotional changes, c) changes in sexuality, and d) fears or beliefs. The results identify some common posthysterectomy physical and emotional experiences. The data challenge the belief that hysterectomy is usually a blow to a woman's concept of self and indicate that most women do not harbor unrealistic fears of physical, emotional, and sexual sequelae. The study findings have implications for nursing care of hysterectomy patients.
一项旨在确定子宫切除术后出院后恢复特征的研究得以设计并实施。该研究明确考虑了女性的性感受以及手术前后存在的恐惧和误解。研究获取了四个主要领域的回顾性和当前自我报告数据：a）身体变化，b）情绪变化，c）性方面的变化，以及d）恐惧或信念。研究结果确定了一些子宫切除术后常见的身体和情绪体验。这些数据对子宫切除术通常会打击女性自我概念这一观点提出了挑战，并表明大多数女性并不怀有对身体、情绪和性方面后遗症的不切实际的恐惧。研究结果对子宫切除术患者的护理具有启示意义。
