Abstract

Objectives: An important element that affects the diagnosis and procedure ofcolonoscopy is the cleanliness of the bowel preparation.

Methods: This study was to investigate the incidence of repeated endoscopy. The intestinal preparation is not clean, and to assess knowledge and practice in patients receiving colonoscopy compares between the two groups. Randomized controlled trial of 63 control subjects. Get regular care. The experimental group received 67 structured bowel preparation programs. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire using standard deviation, chi-square, independent T-test, relative risk.

Results: The results showed that repeated endoscopy was not found in the two groups. However, in the experimental group, colorectal intestinal disease was fair level 0.81 times that of the control group (p = 0.1540), which is approximately a 13% difference. With regard to subjects’ understanding before and after giving knowledge, both groups had a similar percentage of correct responses at 80%. Regarding the suitable diets for the first and second day, the correct response rate differed with 5% correct in the pre-test and 1.9% correct in the post-test. On the topic of drinking water following defecation, there was a statistically significant difference where the results of the group that drank water (p < 0.05) was 13.5 times that of the group that did not (p = 0.02).

Conclusions: Although the results were not statistically significant, the experimental group that received a structured bowel preparation program had a tendency to have a very good level of cleanliness, higher than that of the control group. Patients should also self-assess their intestinal cleanliness. It is recommended that this be studied further in these subgroups.
