Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Although the quality of bowel preparation is influenced by various factors, it largely depends on patient´s compliance regarding instructions on purgatives and diet. Therefore reinforced education and guidance is a valuable tool to improve bowel preparation.
A rapidly increasing number of individuals worldwide use smartphones in their daily life. Application of this new technology into patient education could facilitate and empower the patient guidance. In this study patients either receive regular information on colonoscopy preparation (paper-based) or download a SPA for reinforced reminding of the steps of colonoscopy preparation. Objective of this study is to measure the impact of a SPA on quality of bowel preparation.
