- 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%.
