摘要
Background: Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) with mechanical ventilation can lead to patients experiencing impaired swallowing and communication function. This can negatively affect patient experiences and outcomes. There is increasing research supporting early intervention for swallowing and communication; however, there are no published ICU workforce data to determine patient access. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe national ICU access to speech pathology (SP) services and to describe the nature of this workforce. Methods: Prospective audit of Australian ICUs with a focussed workforce survey of SP service including workforce demographics, clinical practices, team environments, and training was conducted. Data are described as percentage (%, n) and as median (interquartile range). Qualitative data were analysed using thematic frameworks. Results: SP services were available at 99% (n = 165) of the sites; 62 sites provided workforce data (45% response rate). Seventy-one percent of respondents serviced the ICU <= 10 h per week, with 23% reporting dedicated funding. Almost a third (32%) reported not participating in ICU team activities, and more than half of the sites (56%) did not provide ICU-specific training with resulting varied clinical confidence ratings. Facilitator and barriers both highlighted team working relationships. Facilitator themes were building working relationships, understanding the SP role in the multidisciplinary team, physical presence in the unit, and access to resources. Barrier themes were the multidisciplinary team's understanding of SP roles and lack of presence of SP services in the ICU. Conclusions: SP services are not standard across Australian ICUs, with variations in confidence, funding, training, and team environments. Further research into the impact of these variations on patient outcomes is needed. Crown Copyright (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Australian College of Critical Care Nurses Ltd.
