Prevalence and predictors of anxiety and stress among Jordanian women following hysterectomy: an observational multicentre study.
Observational study in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundJordan is a collectivist society where fertility is rated highly. Hysterectomy, therefore, has the potential to negatively impact a woman's standing in a collectivist society leading to increased levels of anxiety and stress. PURPOSE: To assess the impact of hysterectomy on the levels of anxiety, stress, body appreciation, and social support among women.
methodsA cross-sectional design was utilized to recruit 251 women post-hysterectomy. The study used the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), the Enriched Social Support Instrument (ESSI), and the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS).
resultsSexual difficulties were experienced by the majority. Severe anxiety was reported by 39% with around 89% of women reporting stress that was moderate or higher. Overall, participants had moderate levels of body appreciation and a high level of perceived support. Sexual problems, body appreciation, stress, post-surgery duration, and social support predicted the levels of anxiety, with both a desire for more children and longer post-surgery durations heightening both anxiety and stress.
conclusionHysterectomy negatively impacts women's mental health, leading to high levels of anxiety and stress. Body appreciation and social support are important facets in buffering the consequences of hysterectomy. A culturally sensitive healthcare addressing the individual needs of women in collectivist communities is paramount.
