The purpose of this study was to evaluate nursing students' knowledge of the nurse's role in the interprofessional management of dysphagia.
A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest educational intervention was used in this study.
Thirty-eight pretest and 37 posttest undergraduate nursing students participated. An addendum to the original study assessed knowledge retention in a separate group of nursing students who had received a similar educational intervention 1.5 years prior.
Statistically significant changes were found between pretests and posttests. The knowledge retention group performed more poorly in some areas, suggesting that initial instruction was not reinforced beyond the novice level.
Educating nursing students about the nurse's role in the management of dysphagia will increase their knowledge, but this knowledge must be reinforced for integration into clinical practice. More research is needed to determine what education nursing students receive on dysphagia and what the role of the nurse is in the management of dysphagia.
Dysphagia negatively impacts clinical and rehabilitation outcomes. Because nurses may lack sufficient training in the management of dysphagia, healthcare organizations should offer such training to new hires and then periodically thereafter. Likewise, practicing nurses who serve as preceptors should be prepared to train nursing students and new nurses how to safely manage dysphagia.
本研究旨在评估护理学生在吞咽障碍的跨专业管理中对护士角色的认知。
本研究采用准实验性、前测后测教育干预。
38 名前测和 37 名后测本科护理学生参与了研究。在一项单独的护理学生群体中，对原始研究的补充评估了他们在 1.5 年前接受类似教育干预后的知识保留情况。
前测和后测之间存在统计学显著变化。知识保留组在某些领域表现较差，这表明初始指导并未在新手水平之上得到强化。
教育护理学生了解护士在吞咽障碍管理中的角色将增加他们的知识，但必须强化这些知识以将其融入临床实践。需要进一步研究确定护理学生接受吞咽障碍的哪些教育以及护士在吞咽障碍管理中的角色。
吞咽障碍对临床和康复结果有负面影响。由于护士在吞咽障碍管理方面可能缺乏足够的培训，医疗保健组织应为新员工提供此类培训，之后定期进行。同样，担任导师的执业护士也应该准备好培训护理学生和新护士如何安全管理吞咽障碍。
