Abstract
Background: Vocal cord polyps are common benign lesions that cause voice disorders, particularly hoarseness, which can interfere with daily communication.
Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of applying a nursing intervention based on the information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) model on rehabilitation after vocal cord polypectomy.
Methods: A total of 76 patients who underwent vocal cord polyp resection in Wuhu Second People's Hospital between January 2019 and September 2021 were selected by convenience sampling as the study participants. A random number table was used to assign the patients to two groups, an intervention group and a control group (n=38 in each group). Patients in the control group were given routine postoperative nursing, whereas those in the intervention group received an IMB-based nursing intervention based on that of the control group. The data collected regarding self-care ability, vocal cord recovery, and voice disorder severity of the two groups after surgery were compared in January and February.
Results: The Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale scores of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group both one and two months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (97.1±26.1 vs. 84.6±19.8, 103.3±28.4 vs. 85.6±20.0, P< 0.05), indicating the superior self-care ability of the intervention group. The Voice Handicap Index scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group both one and two months after the surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (35.8±9.2 vs. 39.8±13.9, 24.6±6.2 vs. 29.7±7.3, P<0.05), indicating that voice disorder severity was lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Moreover, the effective rates (recovery and improvement) of the intervention group were higher than those of the control group one and two months after the surgery.
Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, nursing intervention based on the IMB model for patients who undergo vocal cord polyp resection can effectively improve self-care ability, reduce the severity of voice disorders, and promote the recovery of vocal cords.
