This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests whether reading a personal narrative book—a book that tells real stories from other women who have had hysterectomy—helps improve emotional well-being and reduce anxiety in women preparing for this surgery. Researchers want to see if this book, combined with standard care information and psychological support if needed, helps women feel more confident and emotionally prepared for their procedure.
Many women feel significant anxiety, worry, and catastrophizing thoughts before hysterectomy surgery. This study addresses the gap in emotional support by testing whether a simple intervention—reading real patient stories—can improve psychological outcomes and overall satisfaction with care.
