Abstract

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to reveal the nutritional status and symptoms related to dysphagia and to identify the information needs of the patient with post-stroke dysphagia for self care. Methods: Fifty one subjects were selected among patients being admitted from 3 tertiary hospitals. Data were collected using questionnaires, interview, and medical record. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics with SPSS. Results: 1) The mean hemoglobin, serum albumin, and hematocrit level of the subjects were $11.2{\pm}1.8g/dL$, $3.2{\pm}0.6g/dL$, and $33.5{\pm}2.3%$, respectively. 2) The most common symptom due to dysphagia was 'slurred speech (86.3%)', followed by 'less flexible in tongue and mouth movement (80.4%)', 'difficulty chewing and swallowing (74.5%)'. 3) The highest score of information needs for patients/caregivers was to know which foods are suitable for dysphagic patients or not ($2.67{\pm}0.48$ of 3.0 score). They also want to know how to swallow safely ($2.65{\pm}0.59$), to administer medication safely ($2.63{\pm}0.59$), and to learn rehabilitative techniques ($2.61{\pm}0.57$). Conclusion: These findings would be useful information for staffs to do multidisciplinary approach and they would be necessary for stroke patients to manage their symptoms.
