Objective To investigate the information requirement level of thyroid cancer patients during the perioperative period, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods A total of 94 thyroid cancer patients during perioperative period who were treated from June 2015 to June 2016 in our department were recruited in the study using convenience sampling. The patients were investigated using the general data and clinical data questionnaire, Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS) and Information Preference Questionnaire for Cancer Patients.Results The total score of information requirement in patients with thyroid cancer during perioperative period was (43.05±4.52), which was at a high level. Multiple regression analysis showed that the education level, disease uncertainty and gender were the main influencing factors of information requirement level in the patients with thyroid cancer(P<0.05).Conclusions The information requirement level in the patients with thyroid cancer during perioperative period was relatively high. Targeted information support should be given to the patients based on their different educational levels, disease uncertainty levels and genders in the clinic.

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).Conclusions The transtheoretical model-based intervention plan helps to improve the patients' phonic function and quality of life,thus worthy of application.
