This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new nursing care model designed specifically for patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery. Some participants will receive routine perioperative nursing care, while others will receive an enhanced program led by specialist nurses from different fields (nutrition, breathing, swallowing, and psychology) who work together to create personalized care plans. The goal is to see if this coordinated, specialized approach helps patients recover better and manage complications more effectively.
Head and neck cancer surgery is complex and can lead to serious complications like nutritional problems, breathing difficulties, and swallowing challenges. This trial exists to test whether having specialist nurses coordinate care across multiple areas of expertise—rather than routine care alone—can better prevent these complications and improve patient outcomes.

If you join this trial, you will be placed into either the routine care group or the specialized nursing care group. Both groups will receive standard perioperative education and discharge planning. The specialized care group will also receive comprehensive assessments by different types of specialist nurses before surgery—checking your nutrition, lung function, and swallowing ability—followed by personalized intervention plans and ongoing follow-up throughout your hospital stay and recovery period.
