- The study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of dysphagia clinicians regarding oral health care using a survey of 234 clinicians.
- Results indicated that while 41.5% of clinicians had a high level of oral health knowledge, only 6.4% displayed a positive attitude toward oral health, and 44% demonstrated low behavioral engagement.
- The findings suggest that oral health education is crucial, as clinicians' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors are significantly linked to their training and experience, highlighting the need for improved education in this area during university studies.
