Exploring final-year nursing students’ experiences in dysphagia management at an Eastern Cape University
The expressed knowledge gaps and limited clinical exposure hindered nursing students' confidence and competence in dysphagia management.Contribution: This study highlights the importance of reevaluating the way dysphagia is taught to nursing students. By providing more theoretical and practical exposure and integrating interprofessional education, nursing students' knowledge, confidence and practice in dysphagia can be improved.
