Summary

Our study presents an innovative educational approach combining visual and auditory elements, targeting the specific needs of the geriatric population. Generally, before colonoscopy, participants are given a written instruction describing the standard bowel preparation with the use of laxatives and enemas. In our study, in addition to this written instruction, the investigators aimed to support the bowel preparation procedure with visual training by using an animated video. The use of animated video has the potential to present complex medical instructions in a simple and understandable format. This approach is especially designed for elderly participants who have limited literacy skills or have difficulty in following written instructions. In addition, it was aimed to reduce the anxiety of the participants before the colonoscopy procedure and to increase patient compliance.
