Thirty women aged 18 to 50 years (mean age = 28) completed a questionnaire measuring attitudes and knowledge about hysterectomy. The results showed that almost 60 percent of the respondents lacked knowledge about the procedure and that educational level made no significant difference to knowledge about hysterectomy. The data also indicated that many respondents were uncertain about hysterectomy. Analysis of the reasons given for their attitudes showed that many women held unfounded fears about the procedure. It is recommended that efforts be made to change the negative perception of hysterectomy.
30名年龄在18至50岁之间（平均年龄 = 28岁）的女性完成了一份关于子宫切除术态度和知识的调查问卷。结果显示，近60%的受访者对该手术缺乏了解，并且教育水平对子宫切除术知识的掌握没有显著差异。数据还表明，许多受访者对子宫切除术感到不确定。对她们给出的态度原因进行分析后发现，许多女性对该手术存在毫无根据的恐惧。建议努力改变对子宫切除术的负面看法。
