Objective:To explore the effect of evidence-based care model based on the need satisfaction theory in postoperative care of patients with intraspinal tumors.Methods:From August 2022 to August 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 150 patients with intraspinal tumors who underwent surgical treatment at Henan Provincial People's Hospital as research subjects. Patients enrolled from August 2022 to August 2023 were assigned to control group ( n=72), while those enrolled from September 2023 to August 2024 were assigned to intervention group ( n=78). Control group received routine postoperative care for intraspinal tumors, while intervention group received an evidence-based care model intervention based on the need satisfaction theory. Patients were surveyed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), and Nursing Satisfaction Scale. Two groups of patients were compared in terms of the time to first ambulation after surgery, time to bowel movement recovery, hospital stay, pain levels at 1, 3, and 5 days postoperatively, psychological status, self-perceived burden, and patient satisfaction. Results:After intervention, patients in intervention group demonstrated shorter times to first ambulation after surgery, shorter times to bowel movement recovery, and shorter hospital stays compared to control group. Patients in intervention group had lower NRS scores than those in control group on both postoperative days 3 and 5. Patients in intervention group had higher CD-RISC scores across all dimensions and higher total scores compared to control group. Intervention group scored lower than control group on all dimensions of the SPBS and on the total score. Patients in intervention group reported higher satisfaction with nursing than those in control group. All differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based care model based on the need satisfaction theory accelerate postoperative recovery, alleviate postoperative pain, improve psychological status, reduce self-perceived burden in patients with intraspinal tumors, and enhance patient satisfaction.

This article reports a case of adrenal tumor in a reproductive-aged woman with hyperandrogenism misdiagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome. The patient presented with menstrual disorder, elevated testosterone levels, and polycystic ovaries, initially diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome. Menstrual regularity was achieved after intermittent use of ethinylestradiol/cyproterone acetate and progesterone. Five years later, during a physical examination, a mass was discovered in the right adrenal gland, accompanied by elevated testosterone levels, polycystic ovaries, obesity, and insulin resistance. Laparoscopic resection of the right adrenal tumor was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was adrenal cortical oncocytoma. Postoperatively, menstrual regularity was restored, and testosterone levels normalized. This case highlights the importance of considering adrenal tumors secreting androgens in patients clinically diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, and emphasizes the need for regular adrenal imaging follow-up.
