Laxative use was significantly reduced in our long-term care facility when an interdisciplinary program based on a philosophy of prevention and health promotion was implemented. Specifically, increased fluid and fiber intake, timely toileting habits, and regular activity/exercise led to a halving of the number of patients receiving laxatives as required, relative to pre-program levels and relative to a control unit not receiving the program.
当我们的长期护理机构实施了一项基于预防和健康促进理念的跨学科项目后，泻药的使用量显著减少。具体而言，增加液体和纤维摄入量、养成及时排便的习惯以及定期活动/锻炼，使得与项目实施前水平以及未接受该项目的对照单元相比，按需服用泻药的患者数量减半。
