“…It is also very important to note that role definition is generally harder for newer professionals such as SLPs if there is insufficient knowledge regarding their role. This lack of role definition will affect the further establishment of the profession in the context of a team setting (Byrne & Pettigrew 2010). Hence, while the relatively brief history of speech and language therapy in Malaysia cannot be altered, measures to promote the role of SLPs can be undertaken to address this issue.…”

Awareness, involvement and training in dysphagia management are essential to ensure that patients are appropriately assessed for dysphagia and provided with intervention. The study aimed to identify levels of awareness, involvement and training of medical officers in dysphagia management. A total of 51 medical officers from the family medicine, medical, otorhinolaryngology, surgery, and neurosurgery departments in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia participated in the study. Levels of awareness, involvement and training of medical officers in dysphagia management were reported using descriptive analysis. Results indicate that medical officers lacked awareness and training in dysphagia management. Referral rates to speech-language pathologists for dysphagia management were low with 58.4% of medical officers having had seldom or never referred patients. The results provide valuable information for addressing dysphagia management in the hospital.

“…The knowledge of medical and allied health professions students' attitudes to people with intellectual disabilities deserves empirical attention because in the future, they might be in a position to determine these people's access to health care and exposure to health inequalities. Studies of perceptions of allied health professionals or medical students in other contexts include medical students' preconceived ideas about populations with mental retardation (Handler et al 1994), allied health profession students' perceptions of stroke rehabilitation (Insalaco et al 2007), and medical students' perceptions of effective team work (Byrne and Pettigrew 2010), rural and remote practice (McAuliffe and Barnett 2010), and intellectual disabilities (Ryan and Scior 2014). This list is not exhaustive.…”

The prevalence of autism has increased dramatically. The objectives of this study were to explore attitudes toward prenatal diagnosis to detect autism prenatally and avoid having an affected child and to understand social acceptability of these disorders among students of allied health professions. In this study, college students of nursing and health systems management answered a structured self-report questionnaire (n = 305). The first part addressed the respondent's personal data. The second part targeted the respondent's attitudes toward prenatal diagnosis of non-life-threatening disorders, including autism spectrum disorders. We found that almost two thirds of the students responded that they would not proceed with a pregnancy if the child were diagnosed with autism, and more than half thought that they would not continue with a pregnancy if the fetus were diagnosed with Asperger's. Age, level of religiosity, and years of education were influential. This study is limited in scope; however, the positive attitude of the students toward prenatal diagnosis to avoid having an affected child might also reflect a negative view of autism spectrum disorders in future health care professionals. Further research of attitudes and the social acceptability of autism spectrum disorders, particularly among health care professionals, is required.

“…There may have been false positives (patients who reported swallowing complaints of post-CVA) and false negatives (patients without swallowing complaints, but they might have some change), despite the risk of complaint has been overestimated or the problems have not been realized. Moreover, due to greater concern with dysphasia conditions, many services have proposed screening exclusively using questionnaires 28,29 , different professionals training 30 , and special attention to dysphasia patients with or without aphasia 27,31 . Future new researches should be conducted in larger populations to verify whether the co-occurrence of these disorders -evaluated in objective -interfere in the specific prognosis of each.…”

OBJETIVOS: verificar a presença e evolução da queixa de deglutição em pacientes afásicos pós- AVE e, a partir do relato dos familiares em relação à melhora das manifestações, analisar se a ocorrência da afasia interferiu no prognóstico da disfagia. MÉTODO: 30 pacientes afásicos pós-AVE na fase crônica foram entrevistados e, juntamente com seus familiares, responderam a um questionário sobre a presença e a permanência de queixas de deglutição pós-AVE e aspectos relacionados, bem como melhoras ocorridas em relação aos quadros de disfagia e afasia. Para verificar se a disfagia parece ter interferido no prognóstico da afasia, comparou-se as curvas de Kaplan-Meier dos pacientes que referiram queixas de disfagia com os que não referiram. RESULTADOS: 48% dos pacientes tiveram queixas de dificuldades de deglutição pós-AVE. Destes, 93% apresentaram mudanças positivas (melhora parcial ou total do quadro). O tempo médio para que o paciente apresentasse qualquer tipo de mudança (espontânea ou não) foi de 76 dias. 60% referiu melhora total da disfagia, sendo que 47% foram submetidos à terapia fonoaudiológica. Em relação à afasia, 87% dos pacientes referiram melhora, apesar de nenhum paciente ter referido melhora total. 57% haviam sido expostos à terapia fonoaudiológica para a afasia. O tempo médio referido para que o paciente apresentasse qualquer tipo de mudança positiva nas manifestações foi de 183 dias. Não houve diferença significante na melhora da afasia entre o grupo com e sem queixa de deglutição. CONCLUSÕES: dos pacientes afásicos avaliados neste estudo, 48% apresentou queixa de disfagia. Verificou-se, a partir do relato dos familiares, que a ocorrência da afasia parece não ter interferido no prognóstico da disfagia.
