Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of the Community General Practice Teams on Dysphagia Complicated with Aspiration Pneumonia after Stroke.

ABSTRACT: This cross-sectional study investigated the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of community general practice (GP) team members on dysphagia complicated with aspiration pneumonia after stroke in Shanghai between October 2022 and November 2022 using a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 551 questionnaires were collected (mean age: 37.59 ± 8.86 years, 443 (80.40%) females), including 383 (69.51%) physicians. The mean KAP scores were 6.30 ± 1.54 (possible range: 0-12), 40.32 ± 5.11 (possible range: 9-45), and 72.54 ± 13.99 (possible range: 18-90), respectively. Multivariable linear regression analyses suggested that attitude (Coef = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.09-1.50), and holding research funding (Coef = -2.70, 95%CI: -5.00--0.50) were significantly associated with practice toward dysphagia c
