AbstractFor exploring the positive relief effect and application value of cluster nursing strategies on stroke patients with dysphagia in rehabilitation medicine. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with stroke dysphagia admitted to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of our hospital from June 2021 to November 2022; by comparison, patients were separated into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) according to different degrees of swallowing difficulty, and nutritional nursing interventions were conducted on the selected research subjects. It was given routine care in the CG and a cluster nursing strategy in the IG, with a total intervention time of 5 months. Before intervention, general information of all patients was compared. Before and after intervention, the incidence of aspiration, nutritional biochemical indicators (hemoglobin, total serum protein, albumin, prealbumin, total cholesterol), grip strength, Swallowing Quality of Life score, etc were collected from the 2 groups of patients. Finally, the specific benefits were analyzed through statistical results to evaluate the intervention effect. After intervention, the explicit aspiration rate of the participants in this experiment significantly decreased, and the difference among the participants in this experiment was statistically significant (P < .05); the implicit aspiration rate was not statistically significant (P > .05). In the comparison of nursing expenses, the CG spent 5403.57 ± 815.51 yuan, while the IG spent 5237.10 ± 758.35 yuan. There was a statistically marked disparity among the participants in this experiment (t = 52.41, P < .001). In the comparison of hospitalization expenses, the cost of the CG was 9236.05 ± 3236.08 yuan; The cost of the IG was 9538.59 ± 4985.21 yuan, and there was a marked disparity among the participants in this experiment (P < .001). The significant statistical significance exists (P < .05) in the 5 indicators of hemoglobin, total protein, prealbumin, albumin, and total cholesterol, quality of life scores, and patient physical efficacy in both groups. The intervention study of cluster nursing strategy for stroke patients with dysphagia in rehabilitation medicine can effectively reduce the incidence of overt aspiration and ultimately improve their quality of life. It has high clinical application value.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
