Abstract
A study was made of the effects on patients of detailed written information about a forthcoming hysterectomy. Results showed that knowledge of risks and possible complications did not increase preoperative anxiety levels or deter patients from undergoing surgery and was possibly beneficial in that anxiety levels after surgery were lower in experimental subjects than in controls.
