Effects of Carbonated Water Intake on Constipation in Elderly Patients Following a Cerebrovascular Accident: Jae-Hee Mun, Seong Sook Jun; J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(2):269-275. Published online April 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.2.269

Purpose

This study was done to identify effects of carbonated water intake on constipation in elders who have experienced a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and are bed-ridden.

Methods

Forty elderly patients with CVA were randomly assigned to one of two groups in a double-blind study. Patients in the experimental group drank carbonated water and those in the control group drank tap water for two weeks. Six patients dropped out during the study period. Data were analyzed by repeated measured ANCOVA and the covariance was the dose of laxatives used for the two weeks.

Results

Frequency of defecation increased significantly and symptoms of constipation decreased significantly for patients in the experimental group.

Conclusion

The study results suggest that the intake of carbonated water is an effective method for the intervention of constipation in elderly patients with CVA.

Comparison of Effects among Tai-Chi Exercise, Aquatic Exercise, and a Self-help Program for Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: Hea Young Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2006;36(3):571-580. Published online June 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2006.36.3.571

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was to compare the effects among Tai-Chi exercise, aquatic Exercise, and a self-help program for knee osteoarthritis patients on symptoms of arthritis, muscle strength, balance, and difficulty of performing activities.

Method

There were 50 final subjects50. A non-equivalent pretest-posttest design was used. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS for Window. One-way ANOVA and Scheffe's multiple comparison test were used 8weeks after each program.

Result

There were significant differences in joint pain(p=.000), stiffness (p=.001), knee extensor peak torque(p=.006), knee flexor(p=.002), and difficult of performing activity (p=.000), but there was no significant difference in balance(p=.648). The Tai-Chi group was significantly different from the self-help group for knee extensor peak torque, knee flexor and stiffness on Scheffe's multiple comparison tests. In addition, the Tai Chi group or aquatic group were significantly different from the self-help group for difficulty of performing activities(p<0.05).

Conclusion

There are significant differences in the effects of the nursing intervention among the three groups. The Tai Chi group and aquatic group were significantly different from the self-help group. However, it seems that Tai-chi exercise may be more suitable than aquatic exercise in osteoarthritis exercise programs. Further studies with a longitudinal study are necessary to confirm the longer exercise period.
