| Research Abstract |
This study was conducted to evaluate the construction of a system for defecation care in long-term care health facilities. In both Programs A and B, fecal assessment using the Bristol Stool Scale was introduced, and a defecation care leadership development workshop helped staff members to develop a defecation care improvement plan. In Program B, researchers also performed in-house education for 6 months after the workshop to support the defecation care improvement plan.
It is suggested that the promotion of workshops for training defecation care leaders would improve thequality of defecation care. We also confirmed the efficacy of in-house training following the workshops, for the construction of a system for defecation care.
