ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how two different supportive programs can help women feel better after they have abdominal gynecological surgery, such as surgery to remove a suspicious mass in the ovaries or uterus. The goal is to see which program is more effective in improving recovery by reducing pain, anxiety, and sleep problems after surgery.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be women aged 18 or older who are scheduled for this type of surgery and can read and understand English. Participants will need to provide their consent to join and should be in generally good health, as indicated by a specific performance status. Throughout the trial, women will receive support through one of the programs being tested, and researchers will monitor their progress to determine how well these programs work. If you're interested in participating, it's important to know that those with certain severe mental health conditions may not be eligible to join.
