Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of transtheoretical model-based intervention plan on the quality of life in patients with laryngeal cancer. Methods Totally 67 patients with laryngeal cancer who received surgery between January and June 2016 in Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital were selected as the control group, and 71 patients who received surgery between July and December 2016 as the experimental group by purposive sampling. Patients in the control group received conventional interventions, while patients in the experimental group received transtheoretical model-based interventions. The phonic function and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results The patients in the experimental group showed improved fundamental frequency and fundamental frequency perturbation compared to the patients in the control group post intervention (P<0.05) . And the patients in the experimental group scored higher in physical, psychological, social function, feature modules and total score of quality of life than the patients in the control group (P<0.05) .
