Effect of a Constipation Prevention Checklist in Hip Surgery Patients

Sponsor: Cumhuriyet University

Summary

Constipation is a common postoperative problem in patients undergoing hip surgery and may be associated with immobilization, opioid analgesic use, and inadequate fluid and fiber intake. Preventive interventions, including adequate fluid and nutritional intake, early mobilization, and abdominal massage, may help maintain bowel function. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of a standardized checklist to guide and monitor these interventions throughout the perioperative period remains limited. This randomized controlled trial aims to determine the impact of monitoring the risk of perioperative constipation and prevention interventions using a standard checklist on bowel sounds, postoperative constipation severity, and quality of recovery in hip surgery patients. The checklist includes a systematic assessment of constipation risk and monitoring of preventive interventions, including fluid and nutrient intake, early mobilization, and abdominal massage. The findings may contribute to improving perioperative nursing care and constipation prevention in patients undergoing hip surgery.
