Abstract

Uterine myoma occurs in 40-50% of women over the age of 35. Uterine myoma is mostly asymptomatic, but it causes certain abnormalities depending on the location, size and number of occurrences. Uterine myoma is small and medication is abailable if there are no symptoms, but surgery is possible in severe cases. Psychological and environmental factors are important for hysterectomy patients. Patients with hysterectomy need to manage postoperative health behaviors. This study is to identify factors that affect the health behavior of patients in their 20s and older Methods : The 62 subjects of this study were patients with hysterectomy who visited the gynecology department of a general hospital in C region. This study conducted surveys and interviews from March 15 to May 5, 2022. For the estimated crossing ratio and statistical significance, a 95% confidence interval was obtained. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using a stepwise selection method for significant factors. Results : The results of this study are as follows. Firstly, it was found that 61.2% of the case group was significantly higher than 32.2% of the control group in the age of 30s and 40s(95% Cl=1.27-5.16). The odds ratio is 1.36 times. Secondly, in the case of a family history, the case group was significantly higher than the control group(95% Cl=0.01-0.75). The odds ratio is 0.30 times. Thirdly, in the case of normal menstrual volume, 19.3% of the case group was significantly lower than 54.8% of the control group(95%, Cl=0.03-0.85). The odds ratio is 0.19 times. Fourthly, variables such as age, family history, amount of menstruation, menstrual pain, lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, anemia and indigestion were included in the risk factors for myoma. Conclusion : The results were confirmed that the health behavior applied in this study were effective. The research derived from this study is expected to contribute to alleviating uterine myoma
