Transanal irrigation has been found to be effective in reducing difficulties associated with defecation and episodes of incontinence in individuals with neurogenic bowel dysfunction. It can also improve general satisfaction with bowel habits, quality of life, and reduce dependency. However, there are practical problems and adverse effects that need to be managed. More high-quality studies are needed to determine the feasibility of transanal irrigation.
Transanal irrigation has been introduced as a complement to standard bowel care for people with neurogenic bowel dysfunction. There is no contemporary integrative review of the effectiveness and feasibility of transanal irrigation from a holistic nursing perspective, only fragments of evidence to date. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of transanal irrigation for people with neurogenic bowel dysfunction. An integrative literature review was conducted. Nineteen studies were included. According to the results, transanal irrigation can reduce difficulties associated with defecation, episodes of incontinence, and the time needed for evacuation and bowel care. Transanal irrigation can increase general satisfaction with bowel habits and quality of life and decrease level of dependency. However, there are practical problems to overcome and adverse effects to manage. Discontinuation is relatively common. The results support the effectiveness of transanal irrigation, but feasibility is inconclusive. Users, including caregivers, report practical problems, and compliance was not always easy to achieve. It is important that users, including caregivers, are well informed and supported during transanal irrigation treatment, especially during introduction. The quality of the studies found was generally weak; therefore, high-quality quantitative and qualitative studies are needed on the topic.
