Application of the ACE-Star Evidence-Based Nursing Model Combined with Voice Training in Voice Rehabilitation after Vocal Cord Polyp Surgery

Objective: Vocal cord polyps are common voice disorders, and surgical resection is the main treatment method. However, postoperative voice rehabilitation is crucial to the quality of life of patients. This study analyzed the application effect of the ACE-Star evidence-based nursing model combined with voice training in voice rehabilitation after vocal cord polyp surgery. Methods: A total of 94 patients who underwent vocal cord polyp surgery in our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table method, with 47 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, and the observation group received the ACE-Star evidence-based nursing model + voice training on the basis of the control group. The Voice Handicap Index (VHI) scores, Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain (GRBAS) scores, complication and disease recurrence rates, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference in VHI and GRBAS scores between the groups. After nursing, the scores of all dimensions of VHI and GRBAS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. The complication incidence and disease recurrence rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. The total nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: The ACE-Star evidence-based nursing model combined with voice training has a high effect in voice rehabilitation after vocal cord polyp surgery. It can effectively improve the voice function and hoarseness degree of patients, prevent or reduce the complication and disease recurrence rates, and further improve satisfaction.
