Aim:
To develop a set of evidence-informed strategies to assist older people to improve swallowing functions and prevent further damage from complications.
Design:
A two-round Delphi survey.
Methods:
An initial set of dysphagia care strategies with 74 relevant items for older people was formed based on a literature review by seven researchers. An online survey was conducted by 21 panellists, and data of experts' opinions were collected and analysed by improved Delphi method.
Results:
The positive coefficients in the two rounds of expert consultation were 85.71% and 83.33%, respectively. Consensus was reached with 53 items included and was allocated into the following five sections: (1) screening, (2) assessment, (3) training, (4) interventions and (5) management. These strategies were named with the acronym of each section-"SATIA". The management strategy can be applied to guide the management of older people with dysphagia.
