One-hundred and two women undergoing a hysterectomy for reasons other than cancer were interviewed pre-operatively. Fifty-three of them filled out the Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI). Women who had high anxiety scores were more likely to be depressed, both before and after the operation. Depression occurred also more often in women who had emergency hysterectomies and in women who had expressed, pre-operatively, some fears of possible change in their sexual life after the operation.
102名因非癌症原因接受子宫切除术的女性在术前接受了访谈。其中53人填写了斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）。焦虑得分高的女性在手术前后更有可能出现抑郁。紧急子宫切除术的女性以及术前表达过对术后性生活可能改变的一些担忧的女性中，抑郁也更常发生。
