    • Psychosocial Health
    • Surgical Patient Support

    Background:

    • Hysterectomy is a prevalent major surgical procedure.
    • The surgery poses significant risks to patients' emotional and social well-being.
    • Common post-operative challenges are frequently experienced by patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify common problems faced by women after hysterectomy.
    • To describe an innovative teaching-counseling program for these patients.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a post-hysterectomy discussion group.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive teaching-counseling program was developed.
    • The program incorporated individual and group sessions.
    • A dedicated post-hysterectomy discussion group was a key component.

    Main Results:

    • The program addressed common psychosocial issues arising from hysterectomy.
    • Patient participation in the discussion group facilitated shared experiences and coping strategies.
    • The intervention aimed to mitigate negative emotional and social impacts.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured teaching-counseling program, including peer support, can aid recovery.
    • Addressing the emotional and social well-being of hysterectomy patients is crucial.
    • Further research should explore long-term outcomes of such supportive interventions.
