Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of technology-assisted constipation prevention training on the management of constipation in hospitalised orthopaedic patients. This is a quasi-experimental study. The population of the study will consist of patients admitted to the Orthopaedic Clinic of Burdur State Hospital between January 2024 and November 2024. The sample of the study is planned to consist of patients over 18 years of age, who are able to communicate, who do not have sensory loss related to advanced vision and hearing, who do not have psychiatric disorders at a level that prevents communication, and who are hospitalised at the Orthopaedic Clinic and who volunteer to participate in the research. Data for the study will be collected using the "Patient Introduction Form", "Constipation Risk Assessment Scale (CRAS)", "Bristol Stool Consistency Scale", "Use of Constipation Prevention Methods Form", "Constipation Education Questionnaire", "Constipation Severity Scale". During the implementation of the research, it is planned to form two groups, the first 35 patients in the control group and the second 35 patients in the experimental group, from the patients hospitalised in the Orthopaedic Clinic. The data will be collected at 3 times: (1) before the training, (2) 2 weeks after the training, (3) 4 weeks after the training. The data will be digitalised in the SPSS 23 package and the necessary statistical analyses will be performed.
