Three semi-structured interviews were conducted at 7 days after operation (adjustment period), 3 months after operation (adaptation period) and 6 months after operation (stable period). Colaizzi 7-step method was used to analysis the data, and the supportive care demand multidimensional model was used for classification. Results: A total of five themes were summarized to describe the need of cervical cancer patients undergoing radical surgery, including the symptoms of discomfort and restoring daily life, negative psychological feelings, multifaceted support and continuation of medical service needs, insufficient information support and sexual needs.
