Summary

Colonoscopy is the examination of the large intestine with an instrument called a colonoscope. To make an accurate evaluation during a colonoscopy performed for diagnosis and treatment, adequate preparation of the large intestine must be made. Information given to patients is very important for adequate bowel preparation and adherence to treatment.

Therefore, this study was planned as a prospective, single-blind randomized controlled study to determine the effect of mobile application-based bowel preparation training on patients' bowel preparation compliance, quality and anxiety level in patients scheduled for colonoscopy.

The study will be carried out with 160 patients (experimental: 80, control: 80) who will apply to the Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty Hospital General Surgery Department Endoscopy Unit, who will undergo colonoscopy as an outpatient.

Both groups will receive oral and written instructions for bowel preparation. In addition, the smart phone app group will received instructions through a medical smart phone app. The primary outcome was the rate of adequate bowel preparation according to the Boston bowel preparation scale score. The secondary outcomes included patient compliance.
