Whatsapp Based Patient Education to Improve Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy

This randomized control trial assists the effectiveness of whatsapp based education in improving or enhancing bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy. Adults' patients scheduled for elective colonoscopy were randomized into 2 groups. The Interventional group receives structured bowel preparation instructions through WhatsApp in the form of short video in reminders. While the control group received routine in person verbal counseling. The primary outcome was bowel preparation quality, measured using the Boston bowel preparation scale at the time of colonoscopy. Secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction compliance with the bowel preparation instructions and reduction in procedure related anxiety.
