“…Maintaining oral hygiene is challenging in patients with TC after operation, because the lesions affect an extensive range [17]. Therefore, serious complications such as oral infection and vascular crisis of musculocutaneous resection of TC [23][24][25][26], most of them focus on single-discipline nursing schemes, with few reports on the MDT nursing mode. In contrast, this study employed the MDT nursing mode and discovered significant improvements in swallowing function, oral hygiene, QoL, and flap sur-vival rate.…”

Objective: To determine the effects of multidisciplinary team (MDT) nursing mode on the swallowing function and oral hygiene in patients after radical resection of tongue cancer (TC). Methods: The data of 88 patients with TC treated in West China School/Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 42 patients who received routine nursing between February 2019 and February 2020 were assigned to a control group, and 46 patients who received MDT nursing between March 2020 and February 2022 were assigned to an observation group. The two groups were compared in the changes of postoperative swallowing function and oral hygiene, postoperative swallowing-related quality of life (QoL), and the survival rate for myocutaneous flap. The risk factors affecting swallowing function were analyzed through Logistic regression. Results: After one month of nursing, the score of swallowing function decreased notably in both groups, with notably lower score in the observation group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The control group exhibited notably lower oral cleanliness than the observation group after nursing (P < 0.05). Additionally, a notably lower survival rate of myocutaneous flap was found in the control group than that in the observation group (P < 0.05). The QoL scores of the two groups increased notably after nursing, and the observation group had notably higher QoL score than the control group (P < 0.05). The extent of glossectomy and nursing plan were independent risk factors impacting the recovery of swallowing function (P < 0.05). Conclusion: MDT nursing have a positive impact on oral hygiene as well as the swallowing function of patients after radical resection of TC, and MDT is a protective factor for swallowing function in the patients after radical resection.

“…As a result, healthcare professionals were able to gain a better understanding of patient needs and provide quality services. Moreover, this mode emphasizes the continuous evaluation and optimization of treatment efficacy, facilitating professional growth and interdisciplinary knowledge integration among medical personnel [26,27].…”
