Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

- description
- Developed by Sherer et al. in 1982, the scale is used to assess patients' general self-efficacy. The original version of the scale, for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted, consisted of 23 items, while it was revised to 17 items by Yıldırım and İlhan (2010). The scale consists of five-point Likert-type questions (1. Never, 5. Very good). It comprises three sub-dimensions: initiation (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 17), perseverance (3, 13, 14, 15, 16), and persistence (1, 8, 9). The scoring ranges from 1 to 5, and questions 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, and 17 are reverse-scored. The lowest possible score on the scale is 17, and the highest is 85. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of self-efficacy belief. In the validity and reliability study of the scale, the Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient was determined as 0.80 (Efendioğlu, 2024). In this study, the Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.8
