The effect of empowerment education-based nursing intervention on the postoperative sexual function and depression state of cervical cancer patients of reproductive age

This study aimed to analyze the effect of empowerment education-based nursing interventions on the postoperative sexual function (FSFI) and depression state (SDS) of cervical cancer patients of reproductive age.

The SDS scores in the OG were lower than they were in the CG (P
