Some previous studies have reported on the use of "HELLO", a consultation system provided to outpatients in our speech therapy department, and resulted in system improvements When our consultation system first began, most or our users were children with speech and hearing impairments from the Nobeoka area. However, in recent years adult users of the system have increases. One reason for this increase may be due to the Revision of Medical Repayment Standards in April 2006. Under this new standard, adult patients can no longer receive continuing training from medical institutions. In this paper, we report on the process and results of clinical training (articulation and swallowing training) that we provide for an adult patient with tongue cancer, who had undergone a bilateral neck dissection. Because this patient wished to communicate with many people, students from our department participated in articulation training. Also, a speech therapist from our department provided swallowing training in cooperation with local medical institutions. We observed that as training sessions progressed this patient became more eager to participate. Also, he seemed to become more positive about his future and about social rehabilitation. As a result, this led to improved QOL (quality of life) for the patient and his family. This case illustrates the need for close collaboration with medical institutions and sharing information about the condition of patients and the need to illuminate public understanding. |
