Abstract
Objective To investigate the application of comprehensive nursing used in community rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia after stroke. Methods Community rehabilitation patients with dysphagia after stroke, who discharged from our hospital from July 2011 to December 2012, were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 78 cases in each. Control group patients received conventional treatment, and observation group patients added door-to-door guide by community medical staff about basal swallowing function training, eating training, mental regulation etc. 6 weeks later, the improvement of swallowing function in two groups were observed. Results The improvement of swallowing function in observation group was better than that in control group (χ2 = 12.153, P 0.01). Conclusion If patients with dysphagia after stroke can immediately accept community comprehensive nursing after discharge, it can effectively improve swallowing function and quality of life of patients.
