| dc.description.abstract | The study explored the perceptions of speech-language therapists (SLTs) in New Zealand on the use of telepractice with adults with dysphagia post-stroke along with the perceived benefits, facilitators, barriers and beliefs. A cross-sectional, predominantly quantitative online survey design was employed via the survey platform Qualtrics. Participants were six SLTs working in New Zealand with experience using telepractice with adults with dysphagia post-stroke. There were a number of key findings. The results suggested many benefits on the use of telepractice with adults with dysphagia post-stroke: possibility to work from home, reduced travel and costs, use of a support person, and employees’ better quality of life. Also, the perceptions of the SLTs with respect to the client, clinician and the workplace/organisation were elicited. In addition, the different practical issues that need consideration while working with adults with dysphagia post-stroke via telepractice were discussed. Directions for future research based on the findings of the study were also identified. | en |
