Validation of nursing educational technology for neurogenic bowel rehabilitation in people with spinal cord injury

This study created and validated an educational tool for nurses to help people with spinal cord injuries manage neurogenic bowel, a condition that affects bowel control. The tool, developed on the Canvas platform, includes information on bowel emptying techniques, guidelines, and nursing care, based on Wanda Horta's theory of human needs. Expert nurses reviewed the tool, and the study found it to be a valuable resource for teaching nurses how to care for individuals with neurogenic bowel.
