The Effect of Swedish Abdominal Massage on Constipation Scale in Stroke Patients
Abstract
In stroke, sudden neurological and functional damage occurs due to reduced or interrupted blood flow to the brain caused by clots or plaque in the blood vessels. Stroke clients experience neuromotor deficits, causing symptoms of paralysis on one side of the body with a level of weakness, so they are at risk of constipation. Constipation is a common problem in patients. Nurses have an important role in overcoming constipation in patients who are on mechanical ventilation during treatment, one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be done by nurses to overcome constipation is abdominal massage.
