Be sure to check out the newest caregiver burden article by Dr. Shune and her collaborator Ashwini Namasivayam-MacDonald (Adelphi University) that has just been accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Gerontology. This new study supports the widespread consequences of dysphagia on the family system as spousal caregivers of older adults with dysphagia were found to have increased emotional burden as compared to spousal caregivers of older adults without dysphagia. Check out our publications page for more information!
Congrats Drs. Shune and Namasivayam-MacDonald on continuing to expand the boundaries of dysphagia research!
