Management of constipation

Constipation management is in need of improvement. This improvement is more likely to be achieved with a thorough initial assessment and ongoing daily monitoring with evaluation. A practical, user-friendly documentation system that facilitates this has been developed at Marie Curie Hospice, Solihull. It is currently being used with great success in a hospice inpatient setting and is transferable to hospitals. With some modification it could be used by district nurses and general practitioners in the community. It is an important step towards improving the management of constipation.

After stoma formation the patient should be independent with their own stoma care. However, with emphasis being placed on community nurses for ongoing aftercare of ostomates: Skingley (2004) has asserted that many community nurses did not feel confident undertaking stoma care. This article is ideally placed for the community nurses to obtain a broad overview of some of the key points pertaining to stoma care. The article looks at care of ostomates and ileostomates in relation to available appliances and also discusses dietary recommendations.
