Field testing was performed using 100 patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia due to multiple reasons such as head and neck cancer and neurologic\/neuromuscular disease, who had undergone swallowing evaluation within 6\u00a0months prior to the study. The patients answered the S-SWAL-CARE, the Quality from the Patient\u2019s Perspective (QPP) and the Swallowing Quality of Life (SWAL-QOL). Test\u2013retest was performed in 20% of the participants. The reliability and validity of the S-SWAL-CARE were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Cronbach\u2019s alpha as well as convergent and discriminative validity, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The field testing of the S-SWAL-CARE resulted in sufficient reliability, with Cronbach\u2019s alpha values exceeding 0.90 for all domains. All items correlated strongly to their own domain, with weaker correlations to the other domains, indicating proper scale structure. Results also indicate sufficient convergent and discriminant validity when tested for association to the QPP domains and the SWAL-QOL Total score. The test\u2013retest reliability of the S-SWAL-CARE demonstrated sufficient intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the General advice domain (0.73) and Clinical advice domain (0.82). The ICC for the Patient satisfaction domain was lower (0.44).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The S-SWAL-CARE can be considered a reliable and valid tool to assess the dysphagia-related quality of care in a mixed Swedish dysphagia patient population.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12955-020-01562-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,25]],"date-time":"2020-09-25T11:03:08Z","timestamp":1601031788000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Quality of care in dysphagia patients: adaptation and validation of the Swedish SWAL-CARE questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6069-4126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna","family":"Hedstr\u00f6m","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mia","family":"Johansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Olsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2081-3589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Tuomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caterina","family":"Finizia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"1562_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1483","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2005.53467.x","volume":"53","author":"J Robbins","year":"2005","unstructured":"Robbins J, Gangnon RE, Theis SM, Kays SA, Hewitt AL, Hind JA.
