Objetivo
Avaliar o grau de adesão e a eficácia da fibra dietética no tratamento da constipação intestinal funcional.
Métodos
Estudo clínico longitudinal, envolvendo 59 indivíduos, 54 mulheres e 5 homens, idade média de 46 anos (variação: 18-74 anos), com diagnóstico de constipação intestinal funcional. Após regularização do hábito intestinal, com a introdução de fibra dietética, era recomendado aos pacientes manter a dieta com fibra e retornar quatro meses depois, a fim de ser verificada a continuidade da eficácia e o grau de adesão ao seu uso. Associação entre adesão e eficácia foi pesquisada pelo teste exato de Fisher.
Resultados
Nove pacientes abandonaram o estudo e 50 continuaram. Destes, 32 mantiveram hábito intestinal satisfatório e a constipação recorreu em 18. Naqueles com manutenção do hábito intestinal, dezesseis mantiveram a ingestão de fibra recomendada, quatro aumentaram, nove reduziram e três interromperam. Nos casos com recorrência do sintoma, a quantidade de fibra foi mantida em três, aumentada em um, diminuída em três e suspensa em onze. Foi encontrada associação estatisticamente significante entre adesão e eficácia (p=0,008).
Conclusão
A eficácia da fibra dietética mostrou-se moderada, ocorrendo benefício em 64% dos casos. A perda de adesão foi grande, mais da metade dos indivíduos avaliados (52%). Tais resultados sugerem a necessidade de novas estratégias, visando garantir maior fidelidade à terapêutica com fibra e com isto melhorar seus resultados no tratamento da constipação intestinal.
