详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Constipation Severity Scale (CSS) General Comfort
时间窗: Constipation levels will be measured at the begining of the study (pre-test) and end of the intervention of the 5 weeks (post test)
It was developed by Varma et al. in 2008. It is a scale for determining the frequency, intensity and difficulty/difficulty during defecation.
Defecation Monitoring Form in a Standard Diary (DMFSD)
时间窗: Constipation status will be monitored at the beginning of the study and daily for 5 weeks
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.
General Comfort Questionnaire
时间窗: Comfort levels will be measured at the begining of the study (pre-test) and end of the intervention of the 5 weeks (post test)
It was developed by Kolcaba in 1992. A validity and reliability study was conducted by Kuğuoğlu 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.
