All patients underwent total hysterectomy. Patients with concurrent endometriosis were not excluded; however, baseline characteristics between groups were comparable (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;gt; 0.05 for all variables).

The control group received routine nursing care, while the study group underwent comprehensive nursing intervention in addition to routine care. Pain scores (VAS), sexual quality of life (FSFI scale), psychological status (SAS, SDS), quality of life (SF-36), and nursing satisfaction were evaluated prospectively by trained research staff at baseline (admission) and at discharge.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;gt; 0.05).

The study group also showed reduced postoperative bleeding, earlier ambulation, shorter time to first flatus, and shorter hospital stays compared to the control group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05). Additionally, FSFI scores, including all subcategories and the total score, were higher in the study group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05). The study group exhibited lower post-intervention SAS and SDS scores (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05) and higher SF-36 scores (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05) than the control group.

It effectively reduces pain and improves sexual quality of life in patients with adenomyosis, making it worthy of clinical application. Given the prospective, non-randomized, single-center design of this study, the findings should be interpreted as demonstrating associations rather than causal relationships.<\/jats:p>\n
