Effect of Discharge Education on Recovery Quality and Self-Efficacy After Hysterectomy
Summary
A randomized controlled trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov investigated whether enhanced discharge education based on Orem's Self-Care Theory improves postoperative recovery quality and self-efficacy in women undergoing hysterectomy, compared to standard discharge education. The study enrolled 64 women (n=32 per group) at a training and research hospital in Çorum, Türkiye, with data collection from December 2024 through May 2025 and a 4-week postoperative telephone follow-up.
What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov registration records a randomized controlled trial investigating whether enhanced discharge education based on Orem's Self-Care Theory improves recovery quality and self-efficacy in women post-hysterectomy, compared to standard discharge education. The trial enrolled 64 women at a Turkish training and research hospital, with a pretest/posttest control-group design and 4-week postoperative telephone follow-up. No compliance or regulatory obligations are created. This is an informational study registration for research purposes only.
Healthcare researchers and clinical investigators reviewing this record should note the intervention design (single face-to-face nurse-led education session) and outcome measures (Quality of Recovery-40 Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale). Institutions conducting postoperative discharge education programs may find the methodology relevant for designing comparable patient education interventions, though this is a study record rather than clinical guidance.

THE EFFECT of DISCHARGE EDUCATION on RECOVERY QUALITY and SELF-EFFICACY AFTER HYSTERECTOMY
N/A NCT07539558 Kind: NA Apr 20, 2026
Abstract
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of discharge education based on Orem's Self-Care Theory on postoperative recovery quality and self-efficacy in women undergoing hysterectomy. The study used a pretest/posttest control-group design and included 64 randomly selected women. The study sample consisted of two groups: an intervention group (n=32) and a control group (n=32). Data were collected between December 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025, from women who presented to the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of a training and research hospital in Çorum, Türkiye, and met the inclusion criteria. Data were obtained using the Patient Demographic Information Form, the Quality of Recovery-40 Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Women in the intervention group received enhanced face-to-face discharge education based on the Orem Self-Care Theory before discharge, while the control group received standard face-to-face discharge education. Pre-test data were collected via self-report in a hospital setting, while post-test data were collected by telephone at the 4th postoperative week from the intervention group, with the researcher marking the questionnaire responses. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Descriptive statistics, Pearson chi-square test, independent samples t-tests, paired samples t-tests, and Fisher's exact test were used in the analysis of the data.
Conditions: Had Undergone a Hysterectomy, Had Not Been Diagnosed With Cancer, After Hysterectomy, Hysterectomy (MeSH nr: E04.950.300.399)
Interventions: Discharge education based on Orem's self care theory led by a nurse only one time, face-to-face
