Article Synopsis
- Bowel preparation is crucial for successful colonoscopies, and studies indicate that telephone coaching may enhance this process, especially for older patients.
- In a study involving 162 outpatients over 65, those who received phone re-education from a nurse two days before their procedure had better bowel preparation outcomes compared to those who were educated only on the day of the appointment.
- Results showed that 83.1% of the phone group achieved adequate preparation compared to 59.5% of the control group, demonstrating that pre-procedure telephone intervention significantly benefits elderly patients in preparing for colonoscopy.
