The aim of this research was to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel educational intervention for health and social care professionals to help them manage constipation in a hospice setting. An incremental, multi-method approach was adopted, in line with the Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for complex interventions and guidance in end-of-life care research. The study involved four phases. Phases 1) The research team undertook a systematic review and found a lack of standard assessment and management of constipation, with medication being the most used method to treat the condition in a hospice setting.  Findings from a review of patient charts (n=150), discussion groups with health and social care professionals (n=6), and interviews with people with a life-limiting condition (n=13) and their family members (n=5) also reported upon a lack of standard assessment, with most being given medication to treat the condition. People with a life-limiting condition and their family members reported that living with constipation impacted upon all aspects of their life, yet medication only responded to the physical aspect leaving their psychosocial needs unaddressed.  Phase 2) Based on these findings a six week, online educational program was developed in consultation with an eLearning company and guided by a workshop with key stakeholders including clinicians, academics, educators, clinical managers, patients, families, and members of the public (n=39). This workshop informed both the clinical content and the methods of delivery and evaluation. Phase 3) The educational program was implemented in five hospices across the UK. Phase 4) The final phase sought to evaluate the primary feasibility outcomes, usability, and acceptability of the intervention within a hospice setting using anonymised electronic surveys and focus groups with course participants and telephone interviews with hospice managers/ members of the senior clinical team.
