Background:

Evidence shows that systematizing the therapeutic approach to patients with post-stroke dysphagia reduces complications significantly.

Objective:

To design and implement a multimodal intervention to systematize an evidence-based approach to patients with dysphagia.

Methodology:

A continuous quality improvement project for nursing care was implemented in a rehabilitation inpatient unit in five phases: analysis of the model in use, design of the intervention, implementation, assessment, and dissemination of results. Data were collected through documentary analysis, audits, and focus groups.

Results:

There was an increase of 39.59% in the identified nursing foci and 45.33% in interventions. The translation of evidence into practice was also observed at the level of assessment, systematization of practices, and monitoring during meals and oral hygiene.

Conclusion:

This Project contributed to translating knowledge into practice, particularly concerning the success of the therapeutic plan, specifically in terms of dysphagia, for patients being cared for.
