这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 目的：本研究的目的是改进对大便失禁的医学/行为干预。 以前在另一项研究中使用过。其目的是让护士能够在未来的更大规模的研究中对辅助生活社区的患者实施这种干预。我们将这一新计划称为大便失禁Rx的固定治疗计划。 研究对象：30名因大便失禁而转诊至北卡罗来纳大学胃肠动力实验室进行大便失禁评估和治疗的患者，年龄在18岁或以上，不分性别。 程序(方法)：研究护士将指导患者进行一项治疗计划，其中包括对大便失禁的医学和行为干预。在遵循方案6周后，患者将返回报告他们的症状，反馈他们对方案的满意度，并报告任何遵守方面的困难。后续评估将 安排在3个月内。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Purpose: The aim of this study is to refine a medical/behavioral intervention for fecal incontinence previously used in another study. The intent is for nurses to be able to implement this intervention to patients in an assisted living community in a future larger study. We refer to the new program as the FIX treatment program for fecal incontinence Rx . Participants: 30 patients age 18 or older of any gender that have been referred to the UNC GI Motility Laboratory for the evaluation and treatment of fecal incontinence. Procedures (methods): Patients will be instructed by the research nurse on a treatment program that includes both medical and behavioral interventions for fecal incontinence. After following the protocol for 6 weeks, the patients will return to report on their symptoms, give feedback on their satisfaction with the program and report any difficulties with adherence. Follow-up evaluation will be scheduled at 3 months.
