Official title
System-integrated Technology-enabled Model of Care to Improve the Health of Stroke Patients With Dysphagia: a Cluster-randomized Controlled Study
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of the system-integrated technology-enabled model of care in ischemic stroke patients with dysphagia. The main question it aims to answer is: Can one-year system-integrated technology-enabled model of care improve the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, swallowing function, nutritional status, self-care ability, and quality of life among post-discharge ischemic stroke patients with dysphagia. Researchers will compare system-integrated technology-enabled model group and control group to see if there are significant intergroup differences in the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, swallowing function, nutritional status, self-care ability, and quality of life. Participants will be divided into the system-integrated technology-enabled model group and the control group. Participants in the system-integrated technology-enabled model group will receive support and follow-up services for dysphagia management, as well as physician-patient communication, with the assistance of mobile phones for one year. Participants in the control group will receive routine management.
Detailed description
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of the system-integrated technology-enabled model of care in ischemic stroke patients with dysphagia. The main question it aims to answer is: Can one-year system-integrated technology-enabled model of care improve the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, swallowing function, nutritional status, self-care ability, and quality of life among post-discharge ischemic stroke patients with dysphagia.
Researchers will compare system-integrated technology-enabled model group and control group to see if there are significant intergroup differences in the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, swallowing function, nutritional status, self-care ability, and quality of life.
Participants will be divided into the system-integrated technology-enabled model group and the control group. Participants in the system-integrated technology-enabled model group will receive support and follow-up services for dysphagia management, as well as physician-patient communication, with the assistance of mobile phones for one year. Participants in the control group will receive routine management.
This study will last for one year per participant and the entire study will be conducted in China.
Interventions
- Behavioral System-integrated Technology-enabled Model of Care
The System-integrated Technology-enabled Model of Care includes the following components: enhanced monitoring and corresponding countermeasures for patients' daily diet, living habits and physical conditions via mobile devices; increased frequency of physician-patient communication; provision of dysphagia-related knowledge training and management guidance for county-level hospitals; delivery of swallowing-related health education to patients; and incentives. Doctors from trial site hospitals wi
