본 연구는 도시지역 1개 초등학교 5 6학년과 농촌지역 일개 군의 2개 초등학교 5 6학년을 대상으로 도시와 농촌 초등학교 5 6학년의 변비 유병률을 파악하고, 이와 관련된 배변행태, 식습관 및 운동 습관 요인, 스트레스 등을 분석하여, 학생들이 바람직하고 올바른 생활습관을 갖도록 하고 학생들의 변비 증상을 개선하고 예방하여 건강증진을 도모하는 기초자료로 활용하고자 시도된 단면조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 임의 추출방법에 의하여 선정된 3개 초등학교 5 6학년 재학생 총 585명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구방법은 2009년 10월에 임의로 선정된 3개 학교의 보건선생님을 통하여 연구대상자에게 설문지를 배포하여 대상자 스스로 기입하도록 하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 자가보고에 의한 변비의 유병률은 전체 22.1%로 남학생 16.9%, 여학생 27.0% 이었으며, 주중 3회 미만의 배변횟수를 변비로 정의하였을 경우 변비 유병률은 15.7%로 남학생 11.6%, 여학생 19.6%로 여학생의 변비 발생률이 높았다. 거주지역별로는 농촌 지역에 거주하는 대상자가 도시 지역에 거주하는 대상자보다 변비 발생이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 변비발생과 운동습관과의 관계에 있어서는 운동을 하지 않는 대상자가 변비 유병율이 높게 나타났다. 변비 분류에 의한 배변습관에서는 변비군에서 배변 시간이 10분 이상이 많았으며, 시험기간 중 변비경향 또는 변을 보지 못 한다가 정상군보다 높게 나타났다. 또한, 변비군의 치료관련 행태에서는 18.3%가 변비치료를 위해 변비약을 복용한 경험이 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 배변 형태에 변화가 있을 경우 상담자로는 가족 또는 혼자 판단하는 경우가 대부분이었다. 변비 분류에 의한 배변 관련 증상의 분포는 변비군에서 항문통증 경험, 항문 출혈 경험 등이 정상군보다 높게 나타났다. 주중 3회 미만의 배변횟수를 변비로 정의 하였을 경우와 배변 관련 증상의 분포는 변비군에서 항문통증 경험, 배변 후 상쾌하지 못함 등이 정상군보다 높게 나타났다. 학교에서의 배변여부는 변비군에서 학교에서 배변을 하는 비율이 정상군보다 높았다. 변비여부를 종속변수로 하여 변비발생에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과 성, 학년, 거주지역에서 변비발생의 위험요인으로 도출되었다. 주 3회 미만의 배변횟수를 변비라고 정의할 경우, 변비발생에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 결과 성, 학년, 모직장 유무, 운동이 변비발생의 위험요인으로 도출되었다. 본 연구에서는 초등학교 5 6학년을 대상으로 배변 행태, 식습관, 스트레스, 학교에서의 배변습관 등을 조사해 본 결과 상당수 학생들의 배변 실태가 좋지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다. 바람직하지 않은 식습관, 운동 부족, 과다한 스트레스 등은 학생들의 변비 발생의 위험 요인이 될 수 있으므로 변비의 발생을 예방하기 위해서는 매일 적절한 운동을 하고 인스턴트음식과 패스트푸드섭취 등을 줄이고 올바른 생활습관 및 스트레스 관리 등이 필요하며 부모들의 자녀에 대한 관심이 더욱 필요하다. 이를 위해서 초등학교부터 변비 예방을 위한 체계적인 프로그램을 만들고, 실시하여야 하며 또한 보건교육을 통하여 건강한 생활습관을 습득하고 변비를 예방하는 노력이 필요하다 하겠다.

This paper proposes a design of controller for automatic evacuation disposal system with suction, collecting, washing, and drying functions to be useful for excretion care of long-term bedridden patients. It is desirable that the system can discriminate excreta such as feces and urine severally, and dispose of them without having additional efforts of caregivers. This paper describes a method to improve the discrimination ability by using multi-sensors, and proposes disposal processes according to the type of excrements. As a result the automatic evacuation disposal system can perform an efficient operation in the excrement care. Experimental results using artificial excrements show the automatic evacuation disposal system is effective and feasible to assist the excrement care.

This study was performed to investigate effects of raw sea tangle products on idiopathic constipation. A total of thirty-eight women participated voluntarily in this study. They were placed into one of four groups by their total colonic transit time (TCTT) to make the four groups have the same TCTT. In the first trial, the subjects in Control group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of mineral water per day for 2 weeks, those in +Control group were fed a kind of stool softener as well as the same mineral water for 3 times, those in STT group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of sea tangle tea and those in STB group were fed 3 times of 150 mL of sea tangle beverage. After 6 weeks, a second trial was performed for another 2 weeks. Although the TCTT of the group exposed to of KolomarkTM was not significantly reduced, the subjects in STT group answered that their evacuation activities were significantly improved; evacuation frequency was increased, stool hardness was reduced, evacuation straining was lessened, stool amount was increased, incomplete sense of evacuation was lessened, and major evacuation time was improved like those in +Control group. The results imply that it is worthy to develop some products of raw sea tangle such as STT, which are effective in treating or preventing constipation.

바쁜 현대인들은 대부분의 시간을 앉아서 보내기 때문에 운동량이 부족하고 불규칙한 식생활로 인하여 십중팔구는 고질병으로 달고 사는 것이 바로‘변비’이다. 변비는 배변 횟수가 줄어 변이 장에 오래 남아 건조되어 배변하기 어려워진 상태를 말한다. 일단 변비가 생기면 몸에 해로운 물질을 체외로 내보내는 신진대사가 제대로 이루어지지 않기 때문에 건강을 지키기 위해서는 변비에 대해 제대로 알고 확실하게 극복하는 것이 중요하다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 7 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks of abdominal meridian massage with aroma oils (AMMAO) by Volunteers on the relief of constipation among hospitalized disability patients with brain lesions. One group pretest-posttest quasi experimental research design was used. Subjects were 38 hospitalized disability patients with brain lesions. Data were collected from May 9 to June 19, 2011. Frequencies, mean, standard deviation and Repeated Measures ANOVA with SPSS 19.0 were used to evaluate the effects of AMMAO. The results were as follows; 1. There were significant difference noted in the amount of defecation(F=3.56, p=.033) by time. 2. There were no significant difference was noted in the frequency of defecation, the frequency of suppository or enema application by time. Accordingly, it is concluded that AMMAO would be an effective nursing intervention in relief of constipation among hospitalized disability patients with brain lesions. Therefore it is recommended that AMMAO be used in clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention for hospitalized disability patients with brain lesions.

Purpose: Recently well-developed anorectal function tests have revealed that there is an obvious pelvic floor dyssynergia (PFD) pattern in pediatric patients with constipation, as well as in adult's. The use of biofeedback therapy (BT) has been widely implemented in adult PFD patients; however, this approach has only rarely been considered for pediatric PFD patients. Therefore, we assessed the effectiveness of BT in children with PFD. Methods: We studied 70 children with PFD, who were referred to the department of pediatrics at the Asan Medical Center for the management of soiling or chronic constipation from September 2002 to February 2005. Diagnosis of PFD and assessment of the efficacy of BT for PFD treatment were carried out along with several ano-rectal function tests (cine-defecography, ano-rectal manometry, balloon expulsion test and intra-anal EMG); in addition, a questionnaire was administered. The BT based intra-anal EMG was performed. A follow-up telephone interview was performed more than 6 months later. Results: Most of the symptoms and results of the ano-rectal function tests were statistically improved after BT. In comparisons between the BT and control groups (BT refusal group due to poor compliance), the symptoms were statistically improved at follow-up. Therefore, for the shortterm improvement of symptoms, BT was better than conservative therapy alone. The negative feelings associated with ano-rectal function testing and BT were directly associated with failure or success of therapy. Conclusion: Pediatric patients with constipation or soiling that presented with an obvious PFD pattern showed that BT was a useful therapeutic tool for rapid improvement of symptoms.

The study is to measure a variation of exposed dose on genital glands (ovary, testis) which are exposed to radiation during the defecography to diagnosis domain according to use of filters and to look into its utility. whose results are as follows: The measured values of dose were the left ovary 23.4mGy, the right ovary 7.5mGy, the testis 10.3mGy in case of not using filter at all, the left ovary 22.4mGy the right ovary 7.0mGy, the testis 9.5mGy in case of using an additional filter only, the left ovary 26.7mGy, the right ovary 8.4mGy, the testis 11.5mGy in case of using a defeco filter only and the left ovary 20.5mGy, the right ovary 6.2mGy, the testis 7.5mGy in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, respectively. When comparing with the value in case of not using filter at all, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 10%, the dose to right ovary by 5% and the testis by 8% respectively in case of using an additional filter only. While the dose to the left ovary increased by 33%, the dose to right ovary by 9% and the testis by 12% respectively gonad a defeco filter only. And in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 29%, the dose to right ovary by 13% and the testis by 28% respectively. In other words, the dose increased in case of using a defeco filter only while the dose decreased markedly on the rest conditions such as using an additional filter only, using a defeco filter only and using both an additional filter and a defeco filter.

Constipation is the most common digestive disorder, and it occurs frequently in the early stages and affects the prognosis on rehabilitation stage in the patients with brain injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bowel habits of brain-injured patients undergoing enteral nutrition immediately after admission to rehabilitation and transmission, and to investigate the effects of abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise. The study design is a quasi-experimental study to investigate the effect of a bowel care intervention (abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise) applicable to patients with brain lesions. As a result of the study, the number of bowel movements was significantly higher in the intervention group (p=.030), and the use of suppositories in the control group was statistically significantly higher than that in the intervention group (p=.004). The time of constipation relief was 1.73 days for the experimental group and 4.61 days for the control group, indicating that there was a difference in the time of constipation relief between the two groups (p<.001). Abdominal massage and lower extremity exercise were effective as nursing interventions to relieve constipation and prevent constipation in patients with brain injury from the early stage of rehabilitation.
