|
Purpose: This study was to understand the experience of dementia patient’s families’ experience of defecation care.
Methods: Colaizzi’s phenomenology guided the data collection and analysis. Data was collected through in depth interviews of 20 families in a day care center and attendants at family education for dementia.
Results: 142 meaningful statements, 25 concepts, and 5 concept clusters of experience of dementia patient’s families’ defecation management were identified. The essential result of dementia’s families’s defecation care were ‘Burden of patient’s action’, ‘Environmental difficulty related to patient’, ‘Self dilemma’, ‘Burden of weakness of general condition’, and ‘Effort of resolution in one’s own way’.
Conclusion: The result of this study could help care givers to understand care experiences of the dementias’ family with defecation care. Future research is needed to develop a public support system and nursing interventions for defecation care.
