PENGARUH SWALLOWING EXERCISE TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN MENELAN PADA PASIEN STROKE DENGAN DISFAGIA

Abstrak

A stroke is an event where blood vessels burst so that blood does not flow normally, it is called a hemorrhagic stroke. Complications that occur in strokes patients including communication disorders, incontinence, pressure sores, viz impaired mobility and even sensory perception and one of the most common clinical disorders is swallowing disorder or dysphagia. This study aims to determine the effect of Swallowing Exercise on Swallowing Ability in Stroke Dysphagia Patients at dr. Mohammad Saleh General Hospital.
This research is a pre-experimental study using the one-group pre-posttest design method. The sample size was 30 stroke patients with dysphagia, using a purposive sampling method. data collection including scoring, coding, editing and tabulation, then data were analyzed manually and computer with Wilcoxon.
Based on the results of research on stroke patients with dysphagia, it turns out It was found that the swallowing ability of the respondents before the swallowing exercise was moderate performed, most of the patients had moderate dysphagia and swallowing ability swallowing ability after swallowing practice most of the respondents were classified as mild dysphagia swallowing ability. Wilcoxon test results obtained p value = 0.000, < = 0.05. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of swallowing practice swallowing ability of stroke patients with dysphagia.
It is hoped that swallowing exercises can be applied to stroke patients
who experience dysphagia and further research on swallowing exercises in
swallowing ability in stroke patients with dysphagia
results that can reduce the symptoms of dysphagia and get maximum results.
