Brief summary
\*\*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.
Detailed description
This research is planned as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a hysterectomy adaptation training program, based on the Roy Adaptation Model, on hysterectomy compliance, self-esteem, and quality of life in women who have undergone hysterectomy. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the hysterectomy adaptation training program developed based on the Roy Adaptation Model. A G-Power analysis was conducted to determine the sample size. The sample will consist of 110 individuals: 55 in the control group and 55 in the intervention group. The data collection tools used in the research are: "Personal Information Form (PIF), Hysterectomy Adaptation Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Rating Scale (RSR), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Participants will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using a simple randomization method. The intervention group will receive the hysterectomy adaptation training program developed based on the Roy Adaptation Model. The control group will undergo routine follow-ups.
Interventions
OTHERHysterectomy Adaptation Education
The intervention is a structured education program developed according to the Roy Adaptation Model for women who have undergone hysterectomy. It includes education on postoperative physical recovery, symptom management, self-concept, role function, interpersonal relationships, coping strategies, and adaptation to life after hysterectomy. The program is delivered by the researcher using standardized educational materials in addition to routine postoperative care. Its purpose is to improve adaptation to hysterectomy, increase self-esteem, and enhance quality of life.

Masking description
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.
Intervention model description
Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group using a simple randomization method. The intervention group will receive a Roy Adaptation Model-based hysterectomy adaptation education program in addition to routine care, whereas the control group will receive routine postoperative care only. Outcomes, including hysterectomy adaptation, self-esteem, and quality of life, will be assessed at baseline before the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention. The effectiveness of the education program will be determined by comparing changes in outcomes between the two parallel groups.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hysterectomy Adaptation | 8 weeks after training | Adaptation to hysterectomy will be assessed using the Hysterectomy Adaptation Scale. Higher scores indicate better adaptation to life after hysterectomy. Changes in adaptation scores from baseline to 8 weeks after the intervention will be compared between the intervention and control groups. |
