**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.
Inclusion Criteria:
Have an adequate level of health literacy to understand the educational materials, access online information, and follow the intervention.
Be sexually active.
Exclusion Criteria:
Have a diagnosis of cancer. Currently receiving hormone therapy.
Masking was not feasible because participants and the researcher delivering the Roy Adaptation Model-based education program were aware of the group assignments. Therefore, this study was conducted as an open-label randomized controlled trial.
Participants assigned to the control group will receive routine postoperative care and follow-up according to the hospital's standard clinical practice. They will not receive the Roy Adaptation Model-based hysterectomy adaptation education program during the study period.
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a Roy Adaptation Model-based hysterectomy adaptation education program in addition to routine postoperative care. The education program is designed to enhance adaptation to hysterectomy by addressing physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence adaptation, consistent with the Roy Adaptation Model.
