Özet

Purpose: As constipation is a chronic and common disease, cost-effective therapies are needed. In addition, there is a limited number of studies on the aromatherapy massage and normal abdominal massage, which are the traditional and complementary applications included in the constipation management program in the literature. However, there is no study about each of these two applications being superior to the other.
