Research has shown that interventions for head and neck cancer frequently have long-term effects on swallowing (Samuel et al., 2019), however patients who follow a swallow exercise regimen before and during treatment are more likely to tolerate a regular diet (Duarte et al., 2013). This study investigated the impact of a training program for future physician associates and nurse practitioners to improve knowledge and awareness of this clinical issue. Purpose: This research aimed to measure current health profession students' knowledge of the impact of speech-language pathologists' intervention in the pretreatment of head and neck cancer patients to prevent the development of severe swallowing deficits. Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design involving two distinct professional groups: physician associates and nurse practitioners. Separate educational workshops were conducted for each group, focusing on the role of speech-language pathologists in head and neck cancer pretreatment. The analysis involved comparing intra-group pretest-posttest score differences and inter-group posttest score variations to evaluate the training's efficacy and its differential impact on the two groups. Results: Analyses revealed significant improvements in both groups' posttest scores compared to their pretest scores, indicating enhanced knowledge following the workshops for all participants. Differences in the pattern of results between the nurse practitioners and physician associates were found and will be discussed. Conclusions: The workshops effectively augmented interprofessional knowledge regarding the role of speech-language pathologists in the treatment of head and neck cancer. Future research should explore the factors contributing to these differences to optimize interprofessional training programs.
