Abstract

Purpose: To investigate: (a) Swedish Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) dysphagia management with TMC, including terminology, inter-professional collaboration, and knowledge of standard TMC guides; and (b) the current TMC terminology/guides used within university hospitals, in Sweden.

Method: Part One surveyed SLPs from 19/21 regions. Recruitment occurred via regional SLP/department managers, the national SLP association and email lists. Non-parametric statistics were employed. Part Two explored TMC guides within the seven university hospitals.

Result: The initial survey identified 78 Swedish TMC terms. Overlap of both TMC terms and descriptions occurred. Different terms to describe same/similar textures were used by 70% of the SLPs. Knowledge of established guides was high (>90%), though TMC was often (60%) based on locally developed documents. Collaboration with other professions was reported by 97% of SLPs, however almost half perceived collaboration to be inadequate, citing difficulties with transfer of TMC recommendations. Variance in TMC terms/guides within/across the university hospitals occurred.

Conclusion: Variable TMC terminology is used in Sweden, impacting optimal dysphagia management. Future research should focus upon implementation of standardised TMC terminology.

质地改变的液体和食物的吞咽困难术语：全国语言病理学家实践调查。

目的：调查：(a) 瑞典言语病理学家（SLPs）使用 TMC 进行吞咽困难管理的情况，包括术语、跨专业合作以及对标准 TMC 指南的了解；(b) 瑞典大学医院目前使用的 TMC 术语/指南：第一部分调查了来自 19/21 个地区的 SLP。通过地区 SLP/部门经理、国家 SLP 协会和电子邮件列表进行招募。采用了非参数统计方法。第二部分调查了七家大学医院的 TMC 指南：初步调查确定了 78 个瑞典语 TMC 术语。TMC 术语和描述出现重叠。70%的 SLPs 使用不同的术语来描述相同/相似的纹理。对既定指南的了解程度较高（超过 90%），尽管 TMC 通常（60%）以当地制定的文件为基础。97% 的语言康复师报告了与其他专业的合作情况，但几乎有一半的语言康复师认为合作不够充分，理由是在传递 TMC 建议方面存在困难。各大学医院内部/之间的 TMC 术语/指南存在差异：结论：瑞典使用的 TMC 术语各不相同，影响了吞咽困难的最佳管理。未来的研究应重点关注标准化 TMC 术语的实施。
