  • To pinpoint critical areas requiring further scientific inquiry.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of scientific literature from 1970-2000.
  • Databases utilized include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Psychlit, and Sociofile.
  • Inclusion of English language research focusing on hysterectomy and sexuality.

Main Results:

  • Numerous studies address sexual outcomes following hysterectomy.
  • Significant methodological flaws identified, including recall bias and imprecise measures.
  • Preoperative assessment timing introduces bias, potentially skewing results.

Conclusions:

  • Substantial gaps exist in the understanding of post-hysterectomy sexuality.
  • Further research is crucial for clinical guidance, particularly for nurses.
  • Future studies should explore patient/partner information needs and premorbid sexual function.
