Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a single blinded randomized controlled study. The main question of this study is whether better preparation by making full use of digital tools can increase patient compliance with the preparation methods for colonoscopy, and as a result improve bowel preparation quality and colonoscopy outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Participants will randomly assigned to one of three colonoscopy preparation groups (i) a written hand out containing all information required for bowel preparation (standard care) (ii) standard care and in addition a video call with a professional nurse conducted via digital devices and a free software (Zoom video communication or What's app application) (iii) standard care and in addition to a video call as described above using an explanatory short video on bowel preparation (video film), streamed to the patient's mobile device or computer.

- Standard of care + Video call
- description
- The video call will be performed at a designated time with a GE educated nurse. The purpose of the video call is (i) to clarify the patient in person about the colonoscopy procedure (ii) efficiently prepare the patient for bowel preparation by; asking the patient about her/his medical condition, the indication for colonoscopy, medical history, current medical status and medications currently taken. The patient will be inquired, whether she/he went through colonoscopy in the past, what preparation methods were undertaken and what the outcome of the examination was. Based on the information collected during the conversation, the designated nurse performing the interview will tailor the method of bowel preparation for the patient in terms of kind of relaxant, adjustment of medication intake and dietary adjustments before the examination.
