Study Summary
Constipation is a common disorder that globally affects 0.7% to 29.6% of children. The majority of these children receive the diagnosis of functional constipation. Functional Constipation can be challenging to diagnose and treat. The ROME IV criteria provides structure in the approach to Functional Constipation by standardizing diagnosis criteria. Functional Constipation should be suspected when a child has at least two symptoms per week for the last month consisting of: two or fewer defecations in the toilet per week, greater than or equal to 1 episode of fecal incontinence per week, history of retentive posturing or excessive volitional stool retention, history of painful or hard bowel movements, presence of a large fecal mass in the rectum, or history of large diameter stools that can obstruct the toilet. Written action plans and similar self-management tools have been associated with improved clinical and patient-reported outcomes for several pediatric chronic disease processes including anaphylaxis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. These tools have been shown to improve patient/caregiver confidence in disease self-management at home, to increase adherence to pharmacotherapy regimens, and ultimately to enhance patient-centered outcomes. The impact of a Constipation Action Plan on Functional Constipation clinical and patient-related outcomes has not been investigated. The aim of this project was to implement and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Uniformed Services Constipation Action Plan in the management of children with Functional Constipation in a pediatric gastroenterology clinic.
