Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types and related factors of constipation in psychiatric inpatients, and to provide data support for targeted TCM nursing.Methods:A total of 245 psychiatric inpatients with constipation in the Seventh People's Hospital of Hangzhou were selected by convenient sampling. The survey was conducted using general information questionnaire and TCM constipation syndrome classification criteria.Results:245 questionnaires were distributed and 238 valid questionnaires were recovered. Among 238 patients with constipation, the proportion of excessive constipation was the highest, accounting for 61.34% (146/238) , which was the main type of constipation. There were statistically significant differences in age, course of disease, diagnosis, exercise preference and duration of medication between the excessive constipation type and deficiency constipation type ( P< 0.01) . Logistic regression showed that the main factors affecting the type of constipation were the type of disease, the course of the disease, the duration of medication, and the intensity of activity ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The incidence of excessive syndrome in hospitalized patients with mental disorders is relatively higher in young adults with short course of disease, short medication time, bipolar disorder mania and high activity intensity. Medical staff should understand the status and influencing factors of constipation classification of patients and carry out dialectical nursing for them, so as to provide basis for taking targeted measures.
