20 of those patients who received preparatory in-formation were assigned to the experimental group and another 20 of those who did not received prepatory information were assigned to the control group. <
The instruments used for this study were Uncertainty Scale developed by Mishel, Anxiety Scale, by Spielberger and Depression Scale, by Beck,.
Xstest, ttest, and ANOVA were adopted to analysis the data.
The results of this study are as follows.
Hypothesis 1, that the post operative patient with gastric cancer who received preparatory infomation would have a lessor degree of uncertainty than those who did not received the information was supported(t=4.41, p=.000).
Hypothesis 2, that the .post operative patient with gastric cancer who received prepatory informtion would have a lessor degree of anxiety than those who did not received the information was supported (t=2.47, p=.017).
Hypothesis 3, that the post operative patient with gastric cancer who received preparatory information would have a lessor degree of depression than those did not received the information was supported (t=3.79, P=.000).
