Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Some patients experience a degree of pain and discomfort during endoscopic examination of the large bowel. Sedatives and analgesics may be administered in low doses. Excessive dosage or intense pain may lead to hypotension and impaired level of consciousness. The purpose of the present study was to determine if simulation training of endoscopy staff in preventing pain and handling acute complications through effective teamwork could improve the quality of colonoscopy from the patients' perspective.

[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- patient perception of colonoscopy
- timeFrame
- 3 months
- description
- comparison of patient satisfaction aspects of colonoscopy before and after a simulation, course for staff. The patients fill out a questionnaire: Pain score on a visual analogue scale, Wiilingness to return for a repeat colonoscopy if necessary on a visual analogue scale, assessmment of doctor's and nurse's behaviour on a scale from 1 - 10 regarding empathy, quality of information. Staff answer a questionnaire where they assess the quality of teamwork on a scale from 1-10. They also assess the patients perceived pain on a visual analogue scale.
Secondary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Staff perception of teamwork
