Objective To explore the influence of health education on patients with dysphgia and related complications.Methods Different methods of health education were used with 87 patients with different dysphagia conditions and their earegivers.The health education was oriented to dysphgia evaluation and appropriate functional training to improve deglutition.The severity of dysphgia and related complications were observed before and after the health education. Results Health education combined with functional training could reduce the possibility of pul-monary infection,misaspiration and malnutrition for post-stroke dysphagic patients,and the difference was statistical-ly significant. Conclusions Health educmion combined with functional training is effective in reducing the possi-bility of pulmonary infection and malnutrition and preventing misaspiration in stroke patients with dysphgia.It can help such patients regain the independent deglutition ability in the short term.

Objective To develop Chinese version of the Manchester patient safety framework, and evaluate the feasibility of its clinical application. Methods The Manchester patient safety framework (MaPSaF) was transformed into Chinese version by translation and back-translation together with inquiries from experts.
