Background: The care of the women undergoing hysterectomy should meet their needs, and this
must involve their families. However, care such as the provision of sound information, emotional
support, and advice, is often missed. Aim: To determine the effect of social media-based educational
guidelines on knowledge and practice among women undergoing hysterectomy. Methods: Subjects
and method: Design: Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to achieve the aim of this study.
Settings: The study was conducted at Mansoura City in Egypt. Sample: A purposive sample of 300
women having a hysterectomy was obtained from social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp groups,
2021 which the online Google form spreadsheet was opened from the beginning of June 2021 to the end
of June 2021 it was closed. Two tools used in data collection: (I): A self-administered questionnaire
(pre and post-test format) to assess women's demographic characteristics, obstetric, and medical
histories; women's knowledge about hysterectomy (pre and post-test format); and (II): women's practice
about hysterectomy (pre and posttest format). Results: The present study revealed that there were highly
statistically significant differences between women's knowledge and practice regarding hysterectomy
pre and post-social media-based educational guidelines implementation. Conclusion: the study
concluded that a social media-based educational guideline has significant improvements in women's
knowledge and practice about hysterectomy. Recommendations: The social media-based based
educational guidelines should be applied to all women undergoing hysterectomy as a new teaching
method for proving health care.
