Abstract
An interventional study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of abdominal massage on constipation among patients with cerebrovascular accident. Quasi experimental one group pretest posttest design was used in the study. Purposive sample of patients with cerebrovascular accident (N=11) who had constipation were included in the study. Constipation Assessment Scale (Mc Millan & William, 1989) was used to identify the level of constipation before and after abdominal massage. The data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The result revealed that there was a significant difference in the level of constipation before and after abdominal massage. Hence, it can be concluded that the abdominal massage is found to be an effective measure in relieving constipation for patients with cerebrovascular accident.
