- W2004804015 abstract "Introduction and rationale this article reports a small exploratory study of older people's experiences of constipation and laxative use carried out in the UK and relates this to a parallel study in Australia. The research was motivated by the lack of research into people's own reports of these common phenomena, which consume a large volume of health services prescribing budgets. Literature review a focused literature search was carried out using tightly specifiedcriteria. This revealed little empirical research with community-dwelling older adults and numerous problems with the articles that were traced. These included disparate definitions of constipation, disagreement on whether constipation is related to ageing, lack of concern with medication regimes as a contributing factor, and a variety of suggested treatments which lack research-based evaluation. Methods in the UK arm of the study, 16 community-dwelling people over 65 years ofage were interviewed in their own homes using a structured interview schedule with probing. Findings interviewees generally preferred to have a daily or alternate daily bowel actionand reported a number of specific and general symptoms if this did not occur. They reported apparently adequate intakes of fibre, but many did not take fluids to recommended levels. The majority were taking a number of medications including codeine-containing analgesics and were limited in their mobility by a range of health conditions, especially arthritis. Discussion the findings of the UK arm of the study are discussed in terms of the literature and related to the Australian arm. Because of the small-scale exploratory nature of the two studies, the main recommendations that emerge are for future research. However, some pointers for nursing practice are advanced because consistency of the findings in the two arms and the literature review justify this." @default.
