Nöroloji Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde Tedavi Gören Hastalarda Konstipasyon Riski ve Etkileyen Faktörler

Öz

Bu çalışma, nöroloji yoğun bakım ünitesinde (YBÜ) yatan hastalarda konstipasyon riski ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde yürütülen çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak ‘‘Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Konstipasyon Ciddiyet Ölçeği (KCÖ) ve Konstipasyon Risk Değerlendirme Ölçeği (KRDÖ)’’ kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, Nöroloji YBÜ’de Haziran 2018–Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında yatan, dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden hastalardan oluşmaktadır. Bu tarih aralığında 320 hasta yatışı gerçekleşmiş olup çalışma kriterlerini karşılayan ve katılmayı kabul eden 102 hasta ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada hastaların %60,8’inin konstipasyon açısından düşük risk grubunda yer aldığı saptanmıştır. KCÖ ve alt boyutları toplam puanı ile KRDÖ toplam puanının kadınlarda erkeklere oranla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde ve daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Hastaların KRDÖ puanları ile KCÖ toplam puanları arasında pozitif yönde, zayıf derecede ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Araştırma sonucunda cinsiyet açısından kadınlarda konstipasyon ciddiyet ve riskinin erkeklere oranla daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır.

Risk of Constipation and Affecting Factors in Patients Treated in the Neurology Intensive Care Unit

Öz

This study was conducted to determine the risk of constipation and influencing factors in patients admitted to the neurology intensive care unit (ICU). Conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional study, the data collection tools used were the “Personal Information Form, Constipation Severity Scale (CSS), and Constipation Risk Assessment Scale (CRAS).” The study sample comprised patients hospitalized in the Neurology ICU between June 2018 and June 2019 who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate. During this period, 320 patients were hospitalized, and the study was completed with 102 patients who met the study criteria and agreed to participate. The study found that 60.8% of patients were in the low-risk group for constipation. The total score of the CSS and its subscales, as well as the total score of the CRAS, were statistically significantly higher in female than in male. A positive, weak, and statistically significant relationship was found between patients' CRAS scores and CSS total scores (p<0.05). The study concluded that constipation severity and risk were higher in female than in male.
