Using the demographic questionnaire, we obtained information
about age, sex, educational status, postoperation
time, income and other relevant data, including gender-role.
In Chinese culture, as reflected in the literature, the major
gender-role functions of men and women are comprised of
childcare, elderly care, housework, money management and
income earning (Chao & Roth 2000, You M.H., unpublished
data, University of Utah, Salt Lake City).
