Condition: Patient Education; Guidance; Colonoscopy; Nursing
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure for diagnosing colon diseases. Patients should be
      prepared 2-5 days in advance for this procedure and intestinal cleansing should be provided.
      This is a difficult process and does not admit mistakes. The adequacy of the patient's
      pre-preparation for this process increases the chances of success. For preliminary
      preparation, it is recommended to train the patient and reinforce the trainings by phone.
      Education given to the patient; It contributes positively to patient outcomes, the workload
      of healthcare personnel in the institution, and costs. Therefore, this study has been
      planned.
    

Detailed description: 
      Colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure for the diagnosis of colon diseases. For this
      procedure, patients should be prepared 2-5 days in advance and intestinal cleansing should be
      provided. Because the adequacy of bowel cleansing provides more accurate results than
      colonoscopy. Pre-colonoscopy preparation process for the patient; It is very tiring and
      challenging for reasons such as dieting, taking too much fluid and needing to defecate
      constantly. After this difficult preparation period, the failure to obtain sufficient imaging
      from the colonoscopy necessitates going back to the beginning. But patient; If he is informed
      about the importance of this preparation, how it should be done, medication and fluid intake,
      diet, and if he is guided, the chances of success in colonoscopy will increase. For this
      reason, nursing education to be given to the patients before colonoscopy and the guidance of
      the nurse will reduce the possibility of experiencing these negativities.For this reason,
      this study was planned as a randomized control in order to obtain results with high evidence
      value. Both a printed education booklet and a digital booklet will be used and guidance will
      be provided by phone. As a result of this study; Before the colonoscopy procedure, a material
      to be used in patient education will be prepared and a printed and digital educational
      booklet will be provided to Necmettin Erbakan University. With the completion of the
      colonoscopy procedure in one go: the drugs to be used will not be prescribed repeatedly, no
      extra medication will be used, the patient will not be given multiple colonoscopy
      appointments and the procedure will not be repeated. In this way, the workload of physicians
      and nurses will not increase and the comfort of the patient will not be adversely affected.
      All of these will provide cost effective results and positive patient outcomes. Publication
      of the article will contribute to the literature.For this purpose, power analysis was
      performed, sample size was determined, and a randomization list was created for the
      participants. It has been planned in accordance with CONSORT. There will be 40 people in the
      experimental and control groups. The effect size of the study; 0.83, margin of error; 0.05 &
      power; It is 95%.
