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

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.
