BACKGROUND
Constipation is a health problem commonly seen in the elderly individuals. Abdominal massage is thought to stimulate the rectal loading by increasing intra-abdominal pressure.
PURPOSE
To determine effects of aromatherapy massage on constipation in the elderly individuals.
METHODS
Forty eight elderly individuals with constipation were randomized to aromatherapy massage, and control groups. Massage was applied with oil blend to the experimental group during 3 weeks, once a day and lasting 15 min.
RESULTS
During aroma massage and after aroma massage in intervention group, mean scores related to 'defecation number', 'amount of feces' and 'consistency of feces' were increased and these increases were statistically significant. The mean scores related to 'straining during defecation' and 'feeling of incomplete discharge of feces' were decreased.
CONCLUSION
It was determined that aroma massage practice has increased 'frequency of defecation', 'amount of feces' and 'consistency of feces' but decreased the 'straining during defecation' and 'feeling of incomplete discharge of feces'.
背景
便秘是老年人常见的健康问题。腹部按摩被认为可通过增加腹内压来刺激直肠负荷。
目的
确定芳香疗法按摩对老年人便秘的影响。
方法
48名老年便秘患者被随机分为芳香疗法按摩组和对照组。实验组在3周内每天使用混合油进行一次按摩，每次持续15分钟。
结果
干预组在芳香按摩期间及之后，与“排便次数”“粪便量”和“粪便稠度”相关的平均得分增加，且这些增加具有统计学意义。与“排便时用力”和“排便不尽感”相关的平均得分降低。
结论
确定芳香按摩实践增加了“排便频率”“粪便量”和“粪便稠度”，但降低了“排便时用力”和“排便不尽感”。
