Purpose: This study aimed to verify the effects of a swallowing training program on swallowing function and depressionfor nursing home residents with dysphagia after stroke.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with non-equivalentcontrol group pre-post test design. The program (oro-facial muscle strengthening exercises, swallowing exercises,expiratory muscle strengthening exercises, and brain stimulation exercises) applied to the experimental group three timesper week for eight weeks, 40-45 minutes for each intervention. The final data from 42 people (21 experimental and 21control) were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 25.0 using descriptive statistics. x2test, t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, andFriedman test.
Results: The experimental group was significantly improved than control group in oro-facial musclestrength, swallowing symptoms (Z=-2.22, p=.026), and oral intake function level (Z=-2.00, p=.046). However, there wasno significant difference between two groups in depression.
Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it reorganizedand mediated a swallowing training program as a safe, non-invasive exercise that nurses can implement in a nursingfacility with limited medical personnel and it could be easily followed by older adults.
