Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dysphagia is one of the problems that stroke patients often experience. Stroke patients who experience dysphagia often do not get attention because of the lack of early screening, which will cause delays in treatment. To overcome this, nurses have an essential role from the initial screening phase to independent nursing interventions. In screening for dysphagia, nurses can use various methods: Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS).

AIM: The purpose of the study was to identify and explain association between respondent characteristics and the GUSS method of swallowing ability scores in stroke patients.

METHODS: This research was a descriptive study, with a total sample of 20 people. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling.

RESULTS: The results showed that based on the results of the screening test for swallowing ability using the GUSS method, it was found that most of the respondents (75%) belonged to the category of severe dysphagia. Dysphagia was associated with age (p < 0.001), gender (p = 0.000), type of stroke (p < 0.001), comorbidities (p < 0.001), and the frequency of stroke attacks (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION: This study concludes that there is association between respondent characteristics: Age, gender, type of stroke, comorbidities, and frequency of attacks with the score of swallowing ability of stroke patients.
