The Effect of Reminiscence Therapy on Constipation Applied to Elderly Individuals Staying in a Nursing Home in Giresun Province
Research; This study will be conducted to determine the effect of reminiscence therapy, given once or twice a week to elderly people living in nursing homes, on constipation by reducing stress levels. It is thought that the results obtained will provide evidence for reducing constipation, which significantly limits life. Patients who complain of constipation at the Nursing Home Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Center, who voluntarily agree to participate in the research and who meet the sample selection criteria will be included in the study. Patient information will be collected and the research pre-test, post-test and application will be carried out face to face.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Constipation Severity Scale (CSS) General Comfort | It was developed by Varma et al. in 2008. It is a scale for determining the frequency, intensity and difficulty/difficulty during defecation. | Constipation levels will be measured at the begining of the study (pre-test) and end of the intervention of the 5 weeks (post test) |
| Defecation Monitoring Form in a Standard Diary (DMFSD) | In the form developed by Pamuk et al. (2003) there is a 7-day follow-up schedule consisting of 5 items, including the number of defecation, the amount of stool, the stool consistency, the feeling of buckling during defecation and the feeling of not fully emptying after defecation. For each symptom of constipation, all scores collected during the pre-treatment (7 days), sequence of application (21 days) and post-treatment (7 days) days were calculated by dividing the number of defecations performed within the same days. | Constipation status will be monitored at the beginning of the study and daily for 5 weeks |
| General Comfort Questionnaire | It was developed by Kolcaba in 1992. A validity and reliability study was conducted by KuÄŸuoÄŸlu and Karabacak in 2004. The General Comfort Scale is used to determine the comfort needs and to evaluate the state of achieving the result of increasing the expected comfort with the nursing interventions that constitute comfort, which includes three levels (relief, relaxation and superiority) and four dimensions (physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural and environmental) that constitute the theoretical factors of comfort. | Comfort levels will be measured at the begining of the study (pre-test) and end of the intervention of the 5 weeks (post test) |
