Summary

The overall aim of the study is to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel educational intervention for HCPs to help them manage constipation experienced by people in the hospice setting. This stage aims to establish the feasibility of, and to pilot, a novel educational intervention for HCPs. Additionally, it also originally aimed to test the feasibility of the chosen measures of change in patient care, however this was not undertaken. In order to achieve this aim, the objectives are to:

* Implement the educational intervention across Marie Curie sites.
* Evaluate the likely effectiveness of the educational intervention on the knowledge and self-efficacy of HCPs.
* Explore the feasibility and acceptability of the educational intervention with HCPs, and identify factors associated with feasibility/acceptability
* Explore the feasibility and acceptability of research procedures, and identify factors associated with feasibility/acceptability
* Examine the effect of contextual factors upon the implementation and sustainability of the educational intervention in the hospice.
* Examine the suitability of outcome measures for HCPs
