Hysterectomy is the most common surgery done on women and depression is one of the psychological morbidity following this operation.This paper aims to find the influence of patient-education on depression status of women following elective hysterectomy. A quasi experimental study was performed with 184 women in experimental group and 95 in control group. Demographic performa and Beck depression inventory were used to collect data. Depression status was measured at 3 stages: in the preoperative period, at discharge and at 4 months postoperatively. Majority of subjects in both groups had mild mood disturbance in the preoperative period. However in discharge and at 4 months after surgery, subjects in control group presented with mild to moderate level of depression as compared to the experimental group and their mean depression scores revealed statistical significance(p˂0.001). Preoperative level of depression in experimental group had significant association (p˂0.05) with their age and type of surgery undergone. The present study reveals how administering patient-education in planned sessions prove effective in reducing depression status among women who had undergone elective hysterectomy.
