Abstract
  • Functional constipation and bedwetting are common problems in pediatrics. However, a common misconception about bedwetting in children is that it is behavioral, and they will outgrow it while dismissing the role constipation plays in these accidents. An 8-week occupation-based therapy protocol was developed for rehabilitating chronic constipation in pediatrics. The manual was written for occupational therapy practitioners at You’re in CONTROL! which included educational handouts for parents, habit-tracking worksheets, therapeutic activities, manual techniques, a kid-friendly high-fiber cookbook, and a home exercise program. Protocol assessment with stakeholders included feedback from three occupational therapists who concurred that the therapy protocol material was presented clearly and effectively (100%), the therapeutic activities were sufficient for pediatrics (70%), the protocol is readily adaptable (100%), and has feasibility (100%). Finding the right rehabilitation program for children experiencing symptoms such as bedwetting or stool withholding is critical for resolving chronic constipation. Keywords: encopresis, enuresis, bedwetting, occupation-based, pelvic floor therapy
