研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of a poster containing information on dysphagia-specific food procedures at two levels: utility from the point of view of patients' caregivers, and impact on patients' health. Half the patients will have the poster placed in their room, whereas the other half will not.
详细描述
Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder that can be associated with clinically relevant complications, and caregivers can play a fundamental role in this process, namely because they feed the patient. However, studies show a lack of professional-caregiver communication in dysphagia, and caregivers' need for more information. Communicating dysphagia-specific food procedures through a visual poster might bridge professional-caregiver communication gaps, with consequences for the patient's health.
