Evaluation of the Effects of a Hysterectomy Adherence Education Program Based on the Roy Adaptation Model on Hysterectomy Adherence, Self-Esteem, and Quality of Life in Women Undergoing Hysterectomy

**Brief Summary**

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Roy Adaptation Model-based hysterectomy adaptation education program on adaptation to hysterectomy, self-esteem, and quality of life in women who have undergone hysterectomy. A total of 110 participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 55) or the control group (n = 55). The intervention group will receive the Roy Adaptation Model-based education program, while the control group will receive routine care. Outcomes will be assessed using the Hysterectomy Adaptation Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Rating Scale, and WHOQOL-BREF. The study will determine whether the education program improves adaptation, self-esteem, and quality of life compared with routine care.

About this study

This research is planned as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a hysterectomy adaptation training program, based on the Roy Adaptation Model, on hysterectomy compliance, self-esteem, and quality of life in women who have undergone hysterectomy. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the hysterectomy adaptation training program developed based on the Roy Adaptation Model. A G-Power analysis was conducted to determine the sample size. The sample will consist of 110 individuals: 55 in the control group and 55 in the intervention group. The data collection tools used in the research are: "Personal Information Form (PIF), Hysterectomy Adaptation Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Rating Scale (RSR), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Participants will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using a simple randomization method. The intervention group will receive the hysterectomy adaptation training program developed based on the Roy Adaptation Model. The control group will undergo routine follow-ups.

Treatment and study plan

Hysterectomy Adaptation Education

Other

The intervention is a structured education program developed according to the Roy Adaptation Model for women who have undergone hysterectomy. It includes education on postoperative physical recovery, symptom management, self-concept, role function, interpersonal relationships, coping strategies, and adaptation to life after hysterectomy. The program is delivered by the researcher using standardized educational materials in addition to routine postoperative care. Its purpose is to improve adaptation to hysterectomy, increase self-esteem, and enhance quality of life.

Primary outcomes

Hysterectomy Adaptation

Time frame: 8 weeks after training

Adaptation to hysterectomy will be assessed using the Hysterectomy Adaptation Scale. Higher scores indicate better adaptation to life after hysterectomy. Changes in adaptation scores from baseline to 8 weeks after the intervention will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
