Objective: To investigate the perceptions of pelvic floor dysfunction and rehabilitation care among women after radical hysterectomy and to explore ways to improve quality of care. Methods: Thirty-six women who underwent radical hysterectomy at a hospital in southeast China were enrolled via purposive sampling. One-on-one semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted. The texts were analyzed via qualitative content analysis (Graneheim & Lundman). Results: Four themes were attained: serious lack of knowledge of PFD and rehabilitation care; heavy psychological burden; different coping styles to PFD; and great eagerness to receive multiparty support on PFD rehabilitation care.Conclusion: The women had a low cognition of pelvic floor dysfunction and rehabilitation care after radical hysterectomy. Poor awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction among women is one of the reasons they do not ask for support from the society and even from family members. Knowledge of pelvic floor dysfunction should be shared and disseminated to the society to raise public awareness of this medical condition. Moreover, knowledge of medical insurance should be popularized, especially in rural areas in southeast of China. Family-centered care is an important way to support women with pelvic floor dysfunction. |
