Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was conducted from June to October 2024. The participants were 63 lung cancer patients aged 65 years or older scheduled for lobectomy. The experimental group (n=30) received a swallowing rehabilitation program in addition to conventional respiratory rehabilitation, while the control group (n=33) received only conventional respiratory rehabilitation. The program was implemented eight times over 4 days after surgery. Dysphagia was assessed daily for 4 days postoperatively, aspiration pneumonia was assessed on the fourth postoperative day, nutritional status was assessed daily, and swallowing-related quality of life was evaluated preoperatively and on the fourth postoperative day. Results: The incidence of dysphagia was lower in the experimental group that received the swallowing rehabilitation program, with four cases reported, compared with 13 cases in the control group (\u03c72=5.42, p=.025). There were no significant differences between groups in the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, nutritional status, or swallowing-related quality of life. Conclusion: The swallowing rehabilitation program was effective in reducing the incidence of dysphagia in elderly lung cancer patients after lobectomy. It may serve as a practical nursing intervention to promote recovery and swallowing function in this patient population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17079\/jkgn.2025.00227","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,29]],"date-time":"2026-05-29T00:06:18Z","timestamp":1780013178000},"page":"183-194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17079\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effectiveness
