Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the concept of bloating in order to provide the basic information for appropriate nursing intervention.
Methods: The concept analysis was used the method described by Walker and Avant(2005).
Results: Bloating was usually considered the subjective sense caused by gas in large intestine. The symptoms of bloating was daily fluctuant. People with bloating reported that symptoms progressively worsened during the day and then discomfort was the most before bedtime. Bloating may be objectively assessed as measurement of abdominal girth, ect. The antecendents of bloating included the increased intestinal volume due to food sensitivity, aerophagia, constipation, and impaired peristalsis of bowel, and the brain-gut dysfunction induced by impaired viscerosomatic reflex, visceral hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. Consequences of bloating may affect the discomfort of life and physical activity adversely, and advance to the abdominal pain.
Conclusion: We define the concept of bloating and suggest the method of relief bloating by control antecedents that induce bloating.
