Dysphagia Management for Caregivers of Stroke Patients

This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dysphagia management training provided to caregivers of stroke patients receiving home care. The sample size was determined using power analysis (n=84). Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Dysphagia Management Knowledge Form for Stroke Patients. Questionnaires were administered to both groups at baseline, the 1st month, and the 3rd month. The first application was administered to the intervention group before the education session.
