Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Child Health
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Constipation is common in hospitalized children.
  • Pediatric nurses' experiences with constipation care are under-researched.
  • Sensitive touch during rectal interventions is a key aspect of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore pediatric nurses' experiences with identifying and managing constipation in hospitalized children.
  • To understand the role of sensitive touch in this care context.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative phenomenological investigation.
  • In-depth interviews with 21 pediatric nurses.

Main Results:

  • The theme of "sensitive touch" emerged, involving intimate physical contact.
  • Nurses discussed assessment strategies, developmental considerations, building rapport, ensuring privacy, and training.
  • Hesitation in performing rectal interventions was noted.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric nurses have varied experiences with sensitive touch during constipation care.
  • Despite awareness of comfort and privacy, hesitation may prolong constipation in hospitalized children.
