This qualitative study investigates the experience of bowel dysfunction management in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and how this affects their carers.
The research question was: "What is it to live with fecal incontinence (FI) or constipation and multiple sclerosis, and how does this impact on the lives of PwMS and their family carers?"
The study included 47 participants (41 PwMS and 6 carers). All PwMS experienced FI or constipation.
