First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study asks whether watching a video of a hysterectomy procedure before surgery can reduce anxiety in women scheduled for the operation. Half of the participants will watch the video in addition to standard pre-operative counseling, while the other half will receive only the standard counseling. The researchers will measure anxiety levels before surgery and also check quality of life one month later. The goal is to see if a simple, low-cost video could improve the surgical experience.
