There is a lack of knowledge about their experiences at different transition stages. Thus, we aimed to explore the transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers from admission to discharge home.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A semi-structured interview based on Meleis\u2019s transition theory was used during hospitalization and telephone follow-up interviews were conducted in the first, third, and sixth month after the diagnosis of dysphagia. Interview transcripts were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 17 participants enrolled in the first face-to-face interview, 16 participants took part in the first month\u2019s telephone follow-up interview, 14 participants in the third month, and 12 participants in the sixth month. The transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers could be summarized into three themes: (1)transition from onset to admission; (2)transition from discharge to other rehabilitation institutions; and (3)transition from discharge to home. Each theme had identified interrelated subthemes.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers during transition are a dynamic process with enormous challenges in each phase. Collaboration with health care professionals, follow-up support after discharge, and available community and social support should be integrated into transitional nursing to help patients facilitate their transition.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0304325","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]],"date-time":"2024-06-04T20:15:27Z","timestamp":1717532127000},"page":"e0304325","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers: A longitudinal, qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4780-3970","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jian","family":"CHEN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianhui","family":"CHEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"WANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanli","family":"CUI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"LIAO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyu","family":"YAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yansi","family":"LUO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9540-6630","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaomei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0304325.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1007\/s00455-022-10465-x","article-title":"Prevalence of Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Adults in Different Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses.","volume":"38","author":"MC Rivelsrud","year":"2022","journal-title":"Dysphagia"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0304325.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0211040","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0211040","article-title":"Survey of suspected dysphagia prevalence in home-dwelling older people using the 10-Item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10).","volume":"14","author":"K Igarashi","year":"2019","journal-title":"PLOS ONE"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0304325.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"420","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-022-02960-5","article-title":"Prevalence of dysphagia and risk of pneumonia and mortality in acute stroke patients: a meta-analysis","volume":"22","author":"KJ Banda","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMC Geriatrics"},{"key":"pone.0304325.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2019.01.017","article-title":"Understanding the dining experience of individuals with dysphagia living in care facilities: A grounded theory analysis","volume":"92","author":"SE Shune","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Nursing Studies"},{"key":"pone.0304325.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"823189","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2022.823189","article-title":"Post-stroke Dysphagia: Prognosis and Treatment\u2013A Systematic Review of RCT on Interventional Treatments for Dysphagia Following Subacute Stroke.","volume":"13","author":"P Balcerak","year":"2022","journal-title":"Frontiers in Neurology"},{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0304325.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2801","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2016.07.038","article-title":"Age, Body Mass Index, and White Blood Cell Count Predict the Resumption of Oral Intake","volume":"25","author":"A Nakadate","year":"2016","journal-title":"Subacute Stroke Patients.
