Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a constipation reduction program for inpatients.

Method: Subjects were selected in one medical ward of C University Hospital from May, 2001 to November, 2001. Twenty-nine subjects were assigned to an experimental group and 32 subjects to a control group. Data related to the frequency of defecation and to the length and amount of laxative drugs used was collected by a medical record review and data on the degree of constipation was obtained by a self-report using a constipation assessment scale.

Results: More than 90% of the subjects admitted in the department of neurology and one third of total subjects presented with activity limitation and about
one fourth of the subjects were fed with a nasogastric tube. There was a significant difference in the degree of constipation, frequency of defecation, and the length and
amount of laxative drug use between the two groups.

Conclusion: This program is effective in inpatient¢¥s constipation reduction. Further studies need to apply this program in various clinical environments and properly use this program in different clinical settings.
