ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception and usage of thermal-tactile stimulation using ice stick used in dysphagia rehabilitation. This study surveyed occupational therapists and stroke patients with dysphagia through a convenience sample. The collected questionnaires were 79 occupational therapists and 88 stroke patients. The data were used for statistical analysis. As a result, the equipment used by occupational therapists for thermal-tactile stimulation treatment was ice stick with the highest proportion of 88.6%. Thermal-tactile stimulation using ice sticks was positively recognized by occupational therapists in 67.1% and 48.1% of the effects and satisfaction of stroke patients with dysphagia. Stroke patients with dysphagia such as discomfort of dysphagia, long meal time, and aspiration symptom knew significantly more about the reasons for dysphagia rehabilitation using ice sticks than stroke patients without severe swallowing problems. Occupational therapists, who perceived thermal-tactile stimulation using ice sticks as 'be of help', responded that thermal-tactile stimulation using ice sticks was 'need'. Stroke patients receiving thermal-tactile stimulation using ice sticks for more than 5 to 20 minutes indicated that therapy using ice sticks were 'be of help'. The results of our study can be used as a basis for further intervention and further studies on thermal-tactile stimulation using ice sticks.
