Effectiveness of Squatting Position on Constipation Severity and Defecation Problems

"Before the study, the height of the toilet bowls in the patient rooms was measured as 42 cm. The stools to be used for the study are manufactured by ordering laminated with white medium density fiberboard and synthetic resin resistant to harsh chemicals. Stools are made of high quality non-slip materials for patient safety.~After the first postoperative ambulation, stable patients whose bowel movements resumed met their initial defecation needs with the squatting position created using a stool at the appropriate height on the water closet type toilet.~The patients used footstools throughout a week after discharge at home and in the hospital for defecation."
