Objective To explore the application effect of Axen therapy under the nursing model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior in the recovery of voice after vocal cord polyp surgery. Methods A total of 150 patients with vocal cord polyps in our department from March to December 2023 were randomly divided into groups. The control group received symptomatic care. The experimental group received psychological and behavioral intervention on the basis of the control group, and Axen therapy training was conducted one week after surgery, with a six-month follow-up outside the hospital. Results The Voice Handicap Index of the two groups one day before surgery and six months after surgery were 49 ± 1.31 and 32 ± 1.03 for the control group, and 48 ± 1.36 and 24 ± 1.36 for the experimental group; the degree of hoarseness one day before surgery and six months after surgery were 155 ± 0.30 and 124 ± 0.68 for the control group, and 138 ± 2.53 and 103 ± 0.53 for the experimental group; the HAMA one month after surgery was 10 ± 0.24 for the control group and 7 ± 0.98 for the experimental group; the SDS was 36 ± 0.16 for the control group and 32 ± 0.66 for the experimental group. All parameter values were significantly improved compared with those before treatment. Conclusion Axen therapy under the nursing model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior has a definite therapeutic effect on the recovery of voice after vocal cord polyp surgery and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
