Research on the Application of Patient Navigation-based Management Model of Patients After LEEP

November 16, 2024 updated by: Ren Wenhui, Peking University People's Hospital

Effect of Patient Navigation-based Health Management Model on Quality of Life and Sexual Function After LEEP in Patients With Cervical Lesions

Cervical cancer poses a significant threat to women's health and is a crucial public health issue. Early detection and treatment of cervical lesions and standardized management have emerged as essential pillars in the Global Cervical Cancer Elimination. The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is widely employed as a preferred approach for the diagnosis and treatment of precancerous cervical lesions and early invasive cervical cancer. Patients with high-grade cervical lesions are more prone to experiencing sexual dysfunction and psychological disorders after LEEP, attributed to the unique surgical site, physiological alterations, and psychological stress during the postoperative recovery process, thereby adversely affecting their quality of life. Currently, there is a shortage of research evidence regarding targeted intervention measures and long-term effect evaluations for sexual function quality and quality of life after LEEP for cervical lesions. In recent years, the health management model based on patient navigation has evolved into a novel modality for facilitating comprehensive tumor prevention and control. However, its effect in managing cervical lesions has yet to be comprehensively assessed. Therefore, we will design a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a patient navigation-based health management model on quality of life and sexual function after LEEP in patients with cervical lesions.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control group
The routine clinical outpatient follow-up protocol was implemented, and a postoperative rehabilitation health manual was provided to patients the day following LEEP surgery. Outpatient evaluations were subsequently conducted at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery.
Experimental: Intervention group
A postoperative rehabilitation health manual was provided to patients the day following LEEP surgery. The nursing team, possessing over one year of clinical experience in gynecological nursing and psychological counseling, collaborated with clinicians to deliver health consultation services. They conducted in-person consultations lasting 10-15 minutes during routine outpatient follow-ups at 1, 3, and 6 months post-surgery. Patients were assessed based on the challenges encountered in postoperative rehabilitation and sexual life, and tailored guidance services were administered. Additionally, online counseling and guidance services were offered at 2, 4, or 5 months following surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of Life
Time Frame: six months after LEEP
The quality of life six months post-surgery was assessed using 36-Item Short Form Survey.
six months after LEEP

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sexual function index
Time Frame: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
The Chinese version of the Female Sexual Function Index was used to evaluate the sexual function index at three time points: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP.
before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
Anxiety
Time Frame: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale at three-time points: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP.
before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
Quality of Life
Time Frame: before LEEP and three months after LEEP
The quality of life was assessed using 36-Item Short Form Survey.
before LEEP and three months after LEEP
Depression
Time Frame: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
Depression symptoms were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale at three time points: before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP.
before LEEP, three months after LEEP, and six months after LEEP
Vaginal discharge
Time Frame: three and six months after LEEP
Patient-reported alterations in the volume, color, and odor of vaginal secretions.
three and six months after LEEP
Recurrence rates
