Nursing interventions in the rehabilitation of people with neurogenic bowel: integrative review
Abstract
Objective: to identify which nursing interventions are most effective for the rehabilitation of people with neurogenic bowel. Method: integrative literature review, from March 2016 to December 2021, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, in the electronic databases CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase (Elsevier) and MEDLINE, with the descriptors “Neurogenic bowel” and “Nursing”. Inclusion criteria: studies in full, with contents on nursing interventions for adult patients with neurogenic bowel. Results: eight studies were included. The most cited interventions were dietary adequacy and water intake (62.5%); appropriate use of medications (50%); abdominal massage, manual removal of feces and recto-digital stimulation (50%); positioning for elimination of feces, physical exercise and electrical stimulation (25%). Final considerations: the integrative synthesis of the studies showed that the most effective results are those that associate more than one intervention and that result from the individualized and systematic assessment carried out by the nurses.
