| Abstract: | Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of constipation prophylaxis administered with the support of an advanced practice nurse. Design: A quasi‐experimental study with a historical control group of 112 pediatric (age 1–18) orthopedic patients and an intervention group of 59 patients was conducted in a surgical ward in Switzerland. Results: The implementation of a standardized constipation prophylaxis led to an absolute risk reduction (27%) of constipation. Fisher's exact test showed a significant difference in the prevalence of constipation in the two samples, p = .001. Practice Implications: Constipation prophylaxis is a necessity in pediatric orthopedics. |
