Abstract

Women undergoing hysterectomies require special education and emotional support. A new comprehensive program of nursing interventions helps assist women in coping with hysterectomies. Nurses, combining their skills in gynecologic and mental-health nursing, conduct presurgery classes, provide information and support during hospitalization, and offer a postdischarge support group to hysterectomy patients. This article includes descriptions of the program's development process, class content, and ways in which continuity of care is provided.
