Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and provide a standardized nursing intervention program for stroke patients with dysphagia and evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
Methods: Data on the number of tube feedings, incidence of aspiration pneumonia and length of stay were collected from 42 patients in the control group and 51 patients in the experimental group over the 6 months of this study. The data were analyzed using x2-test and t-test.
Results: The number of tube feedings in the experimental group was significantly lower than control group (p=.002). The incidence of aspiration pneumonia in the experimental group was not significantly lower than the control group (p=.097). Length of stay in the experimental group was significantly shorter than the control group (p<.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that a standardized nursing intervention program for stroke patients with dysphagia could be useful to decrease tube feedings and length of stay.
