RESUMEN
RESUMO Objetivo descrever a eficácia e segurança da deglutição, o risco nutricional e a qualidade de vida em deglutição e relacionar o risco nutricional com a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com doença pulmonar crônica. Método 17 indivíduos com diagnóstico de doença pulmonar crônica foram avaliados por meio do Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (V-VST), Quality of Life in Swallowing Disorders (SWAL-QOL), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) e índice de massa corpórea. Resultados foi encontrada alteração de eficácia da deglutição em nove (52,94%) dos indivíduos e eficácia+segurança em dois (11,77%). Todos os indivíduos estavam eutróficos na avaliação nutricional. Houve relação entre o risco nutricional com os domínios 3 (r=-0,803; p=0,05) e 5 (r=0,636; p=0,026) do SWAL-QOL. Conclusão houve alteração de eficácia e segurança da deglutição, no entanto não foi encontrado risco nutricional evidente na amostra avaliada. Ainda, houve relação entre o risco nutricional com a qualidade de vida em deglutição.
ABSTRACT Purpose Describe efficacy and safety of deglutition, nutritional risk, and quality of life in deglutition, and associate nutritional risk with quality of life in individuals with chronic pulmonary disease. Methods The participants were 17 individuals with chronic pulmonary disease evaluated using the following instruments: Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (V-VST), Quality of Life in Swallowing Disorders (SWAL-QOL) questionnaire, Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and body mass index (BMI). Results Changes in efficacy were observed in nine (52.94%) individuals and impairments in efficacy and safety were found in two (11.77%) individuals. All individuals were considered eutrophic by the nutritional assessment. Correlation was observed between nutritional risk and domains 3 (r=-0.803; p=0.05) and 5 (r=0.636; p=0.026) of the SWAL-QOL questionnaire. Conclusion Changes in efficacy and safety of deglutition were observed; however, no nutritional risk was evidenced in the sample evaluated. Correlation between nutritional risk and quality of life in deglutition was also observed.
