Summary

The goal of this interventional clinical trial involving minimal risks and constraints is to evaluate whether an innovative approach to managing catastrophizing in the preoperative context of hysterectomy improves psychological outcomes compared to usual care in women of childbearing age who have been informed of an indication for hysterectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of a personal narrative book improve adaptive emotional regulation and reduce catastrophizing, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in the preoperative period? * Does this intervention improve postoperative patient satisfaction and reduce the need for additional supportive measures? Researchers will compare standard care (CNGOF information leaflet with psychological consultation if needed) with an intervention including a personal narrative book in addition to standard care, to see if the intervention improves emotional regulation, psychological well-being, and satisfaction. Participants will: * provide explicit oral informed consent; * complete questionnaires on their emotional and psychological experience; * read a personal narrative book if they are randomized to the intervention group.
