In Korean language, 'Su' means hand and 'Jok' means foot (Friman \\& Chelala, 2016; Ivanov 2018; Woo 1987, 1991, 2000, 2002, 2007; Sharma \\& Sharma, 2015). In Su Jok therapy, it is argued that there are reflection points of the body in the hands and feet and that these points activate every organ and part of the body like a remote control (Woo 1987, 1991, 2000, 2002, 2007; Şimşek \\& Alpar, 2020).\n\nHolistic approaches, energy flow and meridians form the basis of Su Jok therapy (Ivanov, 2018; Seth, 2013). Su Jok is an integrated therapy method that includes many tried and trusted methods of oriental medicine (Ponni, 2011; Rodríguez et al., 2018; Seth, 2013). In particular, it is similar in content to practices such as acupuncture and acupressure, which are approaches expressed by the same philosophy (Ivanov 2018; Ponni, 2011; Rodríguez et al., 2018).",[14],[24],{"name":25,"role":26,"phone":27,"phoneExt":12,"email":28},"Leyla Sezgin, lecturer","CONTACT","538 456 73 96","leyla.sezgin@alparslan.edu.tr",{"type":30,"investigatorFullName":31,"investigatorTitle":32,"investigatorAffiliation":33,"oldNameTitle":12,"oldOrganization":12},"PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR","Leyla SEZGİN","Lecturer","Muş Alparslan University","100578940","the-effect-of-su-jok-therapy-applied-to-the-elderly-on-constipation-symptoms-and-quality-of-life-100578940",false,"NCT06817824","The Effect of Su-Jok Therapy Applied to the Elderly on Constipation Symptoms and Quality of Life","Su-Jok Therapy","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Young individuals aged 65-74 years, middle-aged individuals aged 75-84 years and hospitalised individuals aged 85 years and over who agreed to participate in the study,\n* Scores of 24 and above on the Mini Mental Test,\n* Those who score 3 points and above on the Visual Comparison Scale,\n* Those who meet the Rome IV Criteria,\n* Elderly people aged 65 years and over who do not have any lesion, infection, etc. that would prevent the application of Su Jok treatment on the hands and feet, who do not have acute diarrhoea, who do not have significant intestinal pathology such as incontinence and faecal impaction, who do not have inflammatory bowel disease, who have not had bowel surgery before, who do not use laxatives during the application will be included in the study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Those who do not fulfil the inclusion criteria,\n* Patients with cognitive impairment such as dementia and Alzheimer's,\n* Patients with hearing problems or using hearing aids,\n* Older people who did not want to participate in the study.",true,"ALL","65 Years","100 Years",{"count":46,"type":47},80,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[50],"NA","This article discusses the prevalence and health implications of constipation in the elderly population. Health problems increase with age and negatively affect quality of life. Constipation is a common problem in the elderly that severely reduces quality of life and is associated with many factors. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods are used for the management of constipation, but long-term use of pharmacologic treatments may lead to adverse effects. Therefore, non-pharmacologic approaches are gaining more importance.\n\nIn this context, Su Jok therapy, as an oriental medicine method, is a treatment method that aims to affect various organs of the body by using reflection points on the hands and feet. It is argued that Su Jok therapy can be beneficial in terms of symptom management and improving quality of life, especially in fields such as nursing and midwifery. In Turkey, there are no studies examining the effect of Su Jok therapy on constipation symptoms. This project aims to determine the effect of Su Jok therapy on constipation symptoms and quality of life, and the results are expected to contribute to the development of health services and treatment methods",[53,54,55],"Elderly (people Aged 65 or More)","Quality of Life","Constipation",[57,58,59],"elderly","constipation","sujok therapy","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-02-04",{"date":63,"type":64},"2025-02-10","ACTUAL",{"date":66,"type":47},"2025-02-01",{"date":68,"type":47},"2025-10-20",{"name":5,"class":6}]
