Effect of Counseling and Education on Mechanical Bowel Preparation
Efficacy of Enhanced Focused Education and Counseling on Adequacy of Mechanical Bowel Preparation Among High-Risk Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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.
