Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of mugwort heat therapy on constipation in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: In this study, a non-equivalent control group pre-posttest design was used. Data were collected from May 20 to September 30, 2011. Participants were 86 community-dwelling older adults (experimentalgroup=42, control group=44) with constipation residing in two senior citizen centers. For two weeks, a nurse qualified in oriental medicine nursing applied mugwort heat therapy on Chun-Chu (ST25) and Kwan-Won (CV4)areas in the experimental group for 40 minutes per day including stimulation to ST25 and CV4. The control group maintained their usual lifestyle including fiber diet and hydration. Outcome variables were number of defecations per week, difficulty during defecation, stool strength and discomfort from constipation. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvement in defecation count, stool strength and discomfort from constipation. Difficulty during defecation in the experimental group decreased during the intervention but the decrease was not significant. Conclusion: Results indicate that mugwort heat therapy on ST25 and CV4 areas is a safe method to decrease constipation in community-dwelling older adults. Thus, nurses should consider developing and providing various non-pharmacological therapies for community-dwelling older adults to promote their health.
