Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether enhanced education and counseling can improve bowel preparation before colonoscopy in high-risk patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does enhanced education lead to better bowel cleansing as measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS)?

Does it improve patient satisfaction, compliance with instructions, and procedure efficiency?

Researchers will compare an enhanced education program (including counseling, video, booklet, and mobile app) to standard written instructions typically given before colonoscopy.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to either the enhanced education group or the standard instruction group

Undergo routine colonoscopy after following the assigned preparation method

Complete short questionnaires about their experience, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the process

This study is being done at two hospitals in Palestine.

Conditions

  • Colonoscopy
  • Colorectal Cancer Screening

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Enhanced Education Package for Bowel Preparation

a multifaceted intervention was designed to improve mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) in patients undergoing colonoscopy. It included: Structured face-to-face counseling on the importance of bowel prep, potential complications of poor prep, and how to follow instructions. A 6-minute instructional video explaining step-by-step dietary and medication instructions. A printed booklet with visual aids summarizing key steps. A mobile phone app delivering interactive reminders, tracking tools, and preparation guidance. All participants used the same polyethylene glycol-based bowel cleansing agent.

OTHER

Standard Education Leaflet

Participants in this arm received a standard hospital-issued bowel preparation instruction leaflet. The document provided written instructions on dietary modifications, timing and dosage of the bowel cleansing agent, and day-of-procedure guidance. No personalized counseling, video support, or reminder tools were provided. This reflects the routine care practice at the study hospitals.
