We design this research with an intention to understand the experiences of women with uterine prolapse from beginning to sense the physical differences till making decisions to undertake a hysterectomy through a qualitative research. Seven women who had been diagnosed to have uterine prolapse and were undergoing hysterectomy were recruited in this study by the purposive sampling. We used in-depth, retrospective interviews to collect the data. Two patients were interviewed for 4 times, four patients were interviewed for 3 times, and one patient was interviewed for 2 times. The interview duration was 1 hour. We obtained twenty-two materials in total. The data were analyzed by the content analysis and categorizing method. The results indicated that the women experienced four stages before making decision to undertake a hysterectomy: (1) realizing physical warning; (2) looking for information to solve the problems; (3) hesitating to undertake an operation or not; and (4) deciding to undertake an operation to improve the present situation. In this research we provide the experiences of the patients' decision-makings for surgery and hope that it is helpful for nursing practitioners' individualized care of such women.
