    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive study design.
    • Qualitative data collection on patient experiences and beliefs.
    • Analysis of recovery in terms of health, activity, and self-assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Most women reported good recovery in health and activity levels.
    • Pessimistic beliefs about hysterectomy effects diminished during recovery.
    • Quality and quantity of staff information and social support were frequently reported as low.
