RESUMO:

Introduction: Intestinal constipation (IC) is characterized by problems related to evacuation, and presents high prevalence in the female gender. This condition has demonstrated negative effects on the development of daily activities, causing damage to the physical and emotional well-being of individuals who are diagnosed with it. Objective: Verify the prevalence of intestinal constipation (IC) and the factors that are associated, as well as the implication of this condition in the functioning in adult women living in a municipality in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in the municipality of Santa Cruz-RN with women of reproductive age. Social conditions, habits and lifestyle, clinical aspects and obstetric history were investigated. Constipation was diagnosed through the criteria of Rome III and the functioning World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS). Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The inferential analysis involved chi-square, Mann-Whitney U test, size of the effect determined through the square eta (η2), Multiple Linear Regression and Poisson Regression. For statistical significance the 95% Confidence Interval was calculated and the value of p≤0.05. The survey was approved under the CAAE number: 49237315.9.0000.5568. Results: A total of 195 women participated in the study, most of them between the ages of 25 and 39 and income up to 1 minimum wage. The prevalence of IC was 35.4%. The factors that were associated with constipation were the clinical aspects hemorrhoids, pain and burning when evacuating and sexual dysfunction. The WHODAS scores showed that women with constipation present lower functioning, mild to moderate effect size, in the domains cognition (p = 0.001), mobility (p = 0.002), self-care (p = 0.001) and participation (p = 0.001), in addition to the total score (p = 0.001). CI increases the WHODAS total score by nine points (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The present study verified a considerable prevalence of intestinal constipation among adult women and is associated with functional impairment, presenting greater difficulty in performing cognitive activities, mobility, self-care and participation.Clinical factors such as hemorrhoids, pain and burning in bowel movements, and sexual dysfunction were associated with a higher prevalence of this condition.
