Does an efficacy-enhancing teaching protocol improve postoperative ambulation in women undergoing abdominal hysterectomies?
Preoperative efficacy-enhancing teaching significantly improves postoperative ambulation duration in women undergoing hysterectomies, potentially reducing postoperative complications.
Oetker‐Black et al. (2003) studied Abdominal hysterectomy (n=108). Efficacy-enhancing teaching protocol vs. Usual care was evaluated on Postoperative ambulation.
