Effects of KAP Model on Swallowing Function and Aspiration Pneumonia in Patients with Dysphagia after Stroke

Abstract：Objective:To explore the effects of KAP nursing intervention on the swallowing function and the incidence of aspiration pneumonia in stroke patients with dysphagia.Methods:A total of 68 stroke patients with dysphagia were randomly divided into the observation group with 32 cases and the control group with 36 cases.The control group received the routine nursing intervention,while the observation group received the nursing intervention with KAP model.Two groups' changes of the indicators were monitered during 4 weeks after the nursing intervention.Results:After 4 weeks intervention,the observation groups Watian drinking water test (WTDWT),swallowing function classification(SFA) scores were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The total efficiency of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P ＜0.05),and the prognosis was significantly better than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of aspiration pneumonia was significantly lower than that in the control group(P ＜0.05).Conclusion:The nursing intervention can improve the swallowing function of stroke patients with dysphagia and reduce the incidence of aspiration pneumonia.
