Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation technology, and in particular to a method for training neck and shoulder functions after head and neck tumor surgery by integrating analysis of health behavior changes. Background Art

[0002] The incidence of head and neck cancer ranks seventh in the world, and the mortality rate ranks eighth among cancer-related causes of death. Cervical lymph node metastasis is a common metastasis of head and neck cancer. Therefore, carcinoma in situ resection + cervical lymph node dissection is one of the commonly used surgical procedures in head and neck tumor surgery. Due to the large scope of surgery, damage to the accessory nerve, cervical plexus, muscle blood vessels and fascia tissue during the operation causes patients to suffer from pain, neck and shoulder dysfunction, swelling and numbness of the surgical incision for a long period of time after the operation, and they are unable to resume their normal work and life before the operation, which reduces the quality of life of patients. Integrated analysis of health behavior change: Behavioral change is a dynamic and repetitive process. ① Desire and motivation are prerequisites for behavior change; ② Self-reflection is conducive to progress; ③ Social influence will shake a person's interest and willingness. Changes in health behavior can be achieved by cultivating knowledge and beliefs, improving self-regulation skills and abilities, and strengthening social promotion. The short-term results of these interventions are personal participation in self-management behavior, and the long-term results are long-term effects on health status.

[0003] A large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that postoperative neck and shoulder functional exercise is beneficial to the recovery of neck and shoulder function, relieves shoulder and neck discomfort symptoms, reduces postoperative complications and scar formation, reduces hospitalization time and treatment costs, and improves self-management efficacy and quality of life. In previous studies, researchers have explored the development of different neck and shoulder exercise methods and analyzed their application effects, such as active training, passive training, progressive resistance training, muscle energy technology, etc. Although different exercise methods have changed the patient's behavior, they cannot keep the patient for a long time; some researchers have also explored the effect of psychological theories such as self-efficacy on patient functional exercise. Although it can improve the patient's confidence, it ignores the social and physical aspects of the patient. Past studies often only focus on the patient's one side, but the patient is a whole. In order to truly change the patient's health behavior and make it have a long-term effect, it should start from multiple aspects such as bio-psychology-society. The integrated analysis based on health behavior change has a significant effect on the functional exercise of patients with total knee replacement, hemiplegia due to ischemic stroke, pulmonary rehabilitation due to COPD, and cardiac rehabilitation due to coronary heart disease. However, no research has been found to integrate health behavior change for the analysis of neck and shoulder functional exercise in patients with head and neck tumors. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for training neck and shoulder functions after head and neck tumor surgery by integrating analysis of healthy behavior changes.

[0005] The method for training neck and shoulder function after head and neck tumor surgery by integrating analysis of health behavior change provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0006] Constructing an exercise program: Constructing a shoulder and neck function exercise program for patients after neck lymph node dissection for head and neck tumors through evidence-based and expert conference methods;

[0007] Effect evaluation: A quasi-experimental research method was used to select patients with head and neck tumor surgery within a certain period of time as the research subjects. Some patients were selected as the control group to receive routine postoperative nursing measures, and the other patients were selected as the experimental group to receive the shoulder and neck exercise program on the basis of routine nursing. The shoulder and neck dysfunction and the degree of neck scar contracture were evaluated by tools such as the Constant-Murley Shoulder Function Evaluation Scale (CMS);

[0008] Exercise implementation: includes active exercise, passive exercise and progressive resistance training. Active exercise starts from a small range at the distal end of the affected limb on the surgical side, gradually moves to the surgical incision site, and gradually increases in intensity. Passive exercise is mainly carried out under the guidance of a rehabilitation trainer. Progressive resistance training refers to the process of continuously increasing the resistance load during training, stimulating the muscles to continuously adapt to the increased intensity and thus increase strength.

[0009] Preferably, the process of constructing the exercise program includes systematically searching domestic and foreign databases and guideline websites, reading relevant clinical guidelines, systematic reviews and other literature, performing literature screening, quality evaluation, and evidence extraction according to the steps of evidence-based nursing, and constructing a preliminary plan after discussion, collation and summarization by the project team members, and inviting experts to modify and improve it.

[0010] Preferably, the effect evaluation step evaluates the degree of shoulder and neck dysfunction and neck scar contracture, and in addition to using the Constant-Murley Shoulder Function Evaluation Scale (CMS) as a research tool, it also includes a general situation questionnaire, a shoulder and neck active range of motion (AROM) measurement form, the Vancouver Scar Scale and other tools.

[0011] Preferably, in the effect evaluation step, the inclusion criteria for selecting research subjects are:

[0098] ③ Set training goals together with the patient, and understand the patient's daily functional exercise status based on the "Neck and Shoulder Functional Exercise Monitoring Diary". It is also beneficial for the patient to conduct self-monitoring and reflection, promptly discover the patient's discomfort symptoms and psychological changes, and provide necessary guidance and adjustments based on the diary.

[0099] ④ Strengthen social support. Caregiver support: When educating patients, invite caregivers to participate in disease knowledge learning, supervise patients' exercise and health diary records, and guide them to give patients understanding and support; peer support: organize patient experience exchanges and establish WeChat group chats to facilitate patient communication; information support: distribute the "Neck and Shoulder Functional Exercise Guidance Manual" in the hospital, provide one-on-one guidance on functional exercises, solve patients' questions through WeChat and telephone follow-up outside the hospital, and push disease-related knowledge through WeChat groups from time to time.

[0100] 10. Research process:

[0101] All subjects received nursing intervention and follow-up for 2 months. Baseline survey was conducted before surgery, including general demographic data, active range of motion of the neck and shoulder joints, self-management efficacy, and quality of life. Follow-up survey was conducted when the patients came to the hospital for follow-up after surgery, including the assessment of the shoulder and neck dysfunction and the degree of neck scar contracture of the subjects 1 day before surgery, 1 week after surgery, 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery.

[0102] 11. Effect evaluation:

[0103] The Constant-Murley shoulder function evaluation scale (CMS), shoulder and neck active range of motion (AROM) measurement table, Vancouver scar scale (VSS) and other tools were used to evaluate the shoulder and neck dysfunction and neck scar contracture degree of the subjects 1 day before surgery, 1 week after surgery, 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery. 2 The data were analyzed by statistical methods such as test and repeated measures analysis of variance, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
