Study on the Effect of Targeted Nursing Care for Elderly Patients with Debilitating Dysphagia

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of targeted nursing in the elderly patients with debilitating dysphagia. Methods: 90 senile patients with dysphagia hospitalized in the geriatrics department of a hospital from January 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group. The elderly in the control group received routine oral care intervention, and the elderly in the observation group received targeted nursing intervention, with 45 cases in each group. The dysphagia, weakness and complications of the two groups were compared. Results: Before nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of dysphagia and fried asthenia between the two groups (P > 0.05). After nursing intervention, the recovery score of dysphagia in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P 0.05). During the nursing period, the incidence of complications in the observation group was 11.11%, significantly lower than 28.89% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of targeted nursing care for elderly patients with debilitating dysphagia can improve the recovery effect of dysphagia, reduce the occurrence of complications, and is conducive to the prognosis.
