The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 17 patients who received elective laparoscopic hernia repair for a large paraesophageal hernia. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, resulting in three main themes: \"Experiences of health,\" \"Being unable to leave the disease behind,\" and \"Still feeling unwell\" and seven subthemes: \"Escaping suffering\"; \"Learning to interpret bodily signals\"; \"Looking to the future with confidence\"; \"Finding oneself in a vicious circle of worry\"; \"The fear of relapse as a constant companion\"; \"Lingering disabling symptoms,\" and \"New and frightening symptoms.\" Our study demonstrates large individual variations in the way patients experience their life and health after laparoscopic hernia repair. Central to the patients' descriptions is that simply feeling physically healthy is insufficient for achieving overall health.

A 15-minute abdominal massage was applied to the intervention group once a day, 5 days a week for 1 month. The control group received only routine treatment. The data were collected with a questionnaire, the Constipation Severity Instrument, the Visual Analogue Scale, the Bristol Stool Scale, and the defecation diary. It was determined that the Constipation Severity Instrument mean score, which was 40.6 ± 10.0 before the massage in the intervention group, decreased to 16.0 ± 11.6 after the application. The Visual Analogue Scale total score of the intervention and control groups, which was 40.2 ± 8.4 and 33.2 ± 5.9 before the massage, decreased to 18.7 ± 9.3 and 29.1 ± 6.58, respectively, at the end of the fourth week; the decrease was higher in the intervention group, and this difference between the groups was significant ( p < .05).

This narrative review aims to provide IBD nurses with an up-to-date overview of Crohn perianal fistulas. It discusses the vital role IBD nurses play within the multidisciplinary team; the physical, social, and psychological impacts of Crohn perianal fistulas on patients; available treatment options; and how IBD nurses can support patients in their perianal fistula journey to enable optimum outcomes for patients. It also reviews diagnostic techniques and IBD nurses' involvement in Crohn perianal fistula diagnosis.
