Nursing Effects of Routine Care and Specialized Nursing Intervention on Patients with Dysphagia during Acute Stroke

Objective: To compare the nursing effects of routine care and specialized nursing intervention on patients with dysphagia during acute stroke. Methods: A total of 188 patients with acute stroke and dysphagia who received treatment at our hospital from May 2022 to December 2024 were selected as study subjects. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 94 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group received specialized nursing intervention. The general information, swallowing function, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in general information between the two groups (P > 0.05). The SAS score of the observation group after nursing was significantly lower than that of the control group (t=19.463, P = 0.000 < 0.001). After intervention, the number of patients with lung infection in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2=7.309, P = 0.007 < 0.01). The overall quality of life score of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group after intervention (P < 0.001). The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (χ² = 15.865, P = 0.000 < 0.001). Conclusion: Compared with routine care, specialized nursing intervention can effectively improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia during acute stroke, enhance their quality of life, and increase nursing satisfaction.
