About this study

Official title: Factors Related to Patients' Anxiety Before and After Hysterectomy

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that may contribute to anxiety of patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy(TAH) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy(TLH) before and after the operation. Thus, we aimed to learn whether anxiety levels change according to the type of hysterectomy.

Read the detailed description

Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological procedure worldwide. . There has been a increasing interest towards to more minimally invasive procedures in the past decade. Hysterectomy operation anxiety is a complex phenomenon affected by various parameters. Patients' anxiety may be affected by their age, gender, educational status,type of operation and personality. Each patient's anxiety was measured using Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory immediately before, immediately after the operation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI )Behavioural

    State anxiety (STAI-S) refers to a temporary emotional state related to a specific situation, whereas trait anxiety (STAI-T) represents anxiety as a relatively stable personality character. Each scale has values ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores representing more severe anxiety. The STAI has no established categories, but a cutoff score of 40 has been used to identify patients with high/very high anxiety. The validity and reliability of the Turkish versions of these instruments have been validated.

  • total laparoscopic hysterectomy(TLH)Procedure or surgery

  • total abdominal hysterectomy(TAH)Procedure or surgery
