Background: Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints among hospitalized patients due to acute myocardial infarction. So, this study was conducted to determine the effect of Plantago on constipation prevention in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: This research was a triple-blind randomized clinical trial that was conducted on patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to cardiac intensive care units in Amirkabir and Amiral Mominin hospitals in Arak City in 2017, in two intervention and control groups. In this study, the intervention group received a sachet of saffron shell powder and the control group received a packaged cellulose sachet in an empty stomach for three days. Demographic information and Criteria for Assessing Constipation Symptoms (CACS) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test.
Findings: Of 110 patients, 62 (56.36%) cases were female, and 48 (43.63%) were male. The mean and standard deviation of the patient's age in the intervention group was 64.58 ± 3.7 and 64.2 ± 2.7 years in the control group. At the end of the study, of 55 patients in the intervention group, 14(25.45%) patients had constipation, and 41 (74.55%) patients did not have constipation. But, all the patients in the control group suffered from constipation.
Conclusion: The results showed that consumption of Plantago among patients hospitalized in cardiac care units (CCU) prevented the occurrence of constipation.
