Objective:To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on leadership life cycle theory in patients with swallowing dysfunction after acoustic neuroma surgery.Methods:From February 2017 to March 2020, 100 patients with swallowing dysfunction after acoustic neuroma surgery in our hospital were selected as the research object. According to a random number table, a randomized controlled study was used to divide all patients into an observation group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing, and the observation group adopted nursing intervention based on the leadership life cycle theory. After the intervention, the Water swallow test was used to evaluate the recovery of swallowing dysfunction in the two groups. A swallowing dysfunction rehabilitation training compliance questionnaire was used to evaluate rehabilitation compliance. The Swallowing Quality of Life scale (SWAL-QOL) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. At the same time the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia was recorded.Results:After the intervention, the result of drinking water test rating was better in the observation group compared the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( Uc=2.053, P <0.05). The participation in compliance, monitoring compliance and learning compliance scores were 16.94±2.46, 6.96±1.24, 5.66±2.11 in the observation group, significantly higher than in the control group (12.36±2.59, 4.80±1.20, 4.48±1.49), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 9.058, 8.851, 3.236, P <0.05). After a one-month follow-up, the scores of psychological burden, eating time, appetite, swallowing symptom frequency, food choice, language communication, eating fear, mental health, social interaction, fatigue sleep were 8.06±1.39, 7.14±1.76, 10.92±1.79, 58.26±6.41, 6.38±1.81, 7.00±1.07, 15.82±2.41, 21.86±1.81, 16.80±1.81, 18.96±3.24, significantly higher than those of the control gorup (6.76±2.17, 4.80±1.83, 7.84±1.74, 37.30±5.07, 3.72±1.23, 4.98±1.33,12.06±2.97, 16.96±1.67, 11.00±1.76, 1.84±3.05), the differences were statistically significant ( t value was 6.945-18.142, P <0.05). The incidence of aspiration pneumonia in the observation group were 6.00% (3/50), lower than that in the control group 20.00% (10/50), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.332, P<0.05). Conclusions:Nursing intervention based on the leadership life cycle theory is beneficial to promote the recovery of swallowing dysfunction in patients with swallowing dysfunction after acoustic neuroma surgery, improve the compliance of rehabilitation training, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia.
