JWOCN Early Edition: Conservative Management of Constipation
Congratulations! Please access JWOCN's Published Ahead of Print (PAP) feature. PAP allows the Journal to bring you the latest information before it appears in the printed edition. These sneak peeks constitute the same must read information you have come to expect in the printed edition of the Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing in an exclusive early edition available only to the registered user of www.jwocnonline.com. This PAP reports findings of an individualized program for conservative management of constipation. Ostaszkiewicz and associates from Deakin University in South Victoria, Australia report the effect of a group of conservative interventions for constipation, including a recreational exercise regimen, fluid and dietary manipulations, attention to the gastrocolic reflex, positioning for defecation, and use of over the counter laxatives tailored for community welling patients with bothersome bowel elimination, abdominal and lower urinary tract symptoms. This exciting early edition report qualifies as a must read, not only because it provides an excellent integrated program for behavioral management of constipation, but also because it reminds us that conservative interventions for these patients are remarkably effective.
