Özet
Amaç Bu çalışma huzurevinde yaşayan yaşlıların konstipasyon durumlarının tanılanması ve konstipasyonu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla planlandı. Materyal ve Metot Tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışma 1-15 Temmuz 2015 tarihleri arasında Tekirdağ ili Süleymanpaşa ilçesindeki bir huzurevinde yaşayan ve çalışmayı kabul eden 56 birey ile yürütüldü. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Konstipasyon Ciddiyet Ölçeği, Mini Nutrisyon Testi ve Modifiye Barthel Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler tanımlayıcı (ortalama, standart sapma, yüzdelik hesapları) ve karşılaştırmalı (Mann Whitney U testi) istatistiksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 79.32±8.62 yıl ve %66.1’i erkek idi. %44.6’sı günde 4 bardaktan az sıvı tükettiğini, %55.4’ü konstipasyon sorunu yaşamadığını ve %75’i ise konstipasyon için ilaç kullanmadığını ifade etti. Yaşlıların %57,1’i günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde bağımsız iken %35.7’sinin malnutrisyon riskinin olduğu belirlendi. Klozet/sürgü kullanan yaşlıların alaturka tuvalet kullanan yaşlılara göre konstipasyonu daha ciddi deneyimlediği saptandı. Konstipasyon sorunu yaşama, konstipasyon için ilaç kullanma, günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde bağımlı olma ve malnutrisyonun konstipasyon ciddiyetini olumsuz olarak etkilediği belirlendi. Sonuç Çalışmaya katılan yaşlıların, konstipasyon sorunu deneyimledikleri saptandı. Bu nedenle yaşlılarda konstipasyonun erken dönemde tanılanması, uygun barsak yönetimi programlarının oluşturulması ve düzenli beslenmenin sağlanması önerilmektedir.
Aim This study is planned in order to diagnose constipation issues and the factors affecting constipation on the elderly living in nursing home. Materials and Methods This descriptive study was carried out on July 1-15, 2015 Süleymanpaşa district in Tekirdağ with 56 individuals who live in an nursing homes and agreed to involve the study. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Constipation Severity Scale, Mini Nutrition Test, and Barthel Activities of Daily Living Scale. Data were analysed through descriptive (mean, standard deviation, percentage calculation) and comparative (Mann Whitney U Test) statistical analysis methods. Results The average age of participants was 79.32±8.62, and 66% of them were male. 44.6% of the participants stated that they consume less than 4 glasses of water, 55.4% of them stated that they had no constipation problems, and 75% of the participants pointed out that they do not use any medication for constipation. While 57.1% of the elderly were independent in their activities, 35.7% of the participants were determined to be under the risk of malnutrition. It has been determined that elderly using closets/bedpans instead of squat toilets experience constipation more severely. It has also been found out that having constipation problems, using medication against constipation, being dependent in daily activities, and malnutrition affects constipation severity negatively. Conclusion It has been determined that elderly participated in the study experience constipation. Therefore, it has been suggested that awareness should be levelled up through early diagnosis, and measures such as forming an appropriate bowel management programme and a balanced diet should be taken.
