Brief summary: This study aims to evaluate the effect of the training given to the relatives of patients undergoing colonoscopy with the Teach-Back Method on anxiety and knowledge level.

Research hypotheses:

H1: The training given with the Teach-Back Method decreases the anxiety level of patient relatives.

H2: The training provided with the Teach-Back Method increases the knowledge level of patient relatives.

Detailed description: Teach-back technique is an effective educational method that enables a person to rephrase what he/she has learnt in his/her own words to show that he/she understands. There is no study evaluating the effect of the education to be given with the Teach-back technique to the relatives of patients who will undergo colonoscopy. In addition, in this study, anxiety and knowledge levels of the relatives of the patients before and after the training will be discussed and will be a guide for future studies. The training to be given with the Teach-back technique will increase the level of knowledge of the patient's relatives and ensure that they know what to expect at every stage of the procedure. At the end of the study, the participants will be asked about their level of satisfaction with the Teach-back technique. According to the results of the study, it is expected that the use of Teach-back technique in the education of patients and their relatives will increase.
