Summary

This study tests whether showing an animated instructional video to people aged 60 and older helps them follow bowel preparation instructions more effectively before a colonoscopy. Participants will receive either standard written instructions or the video plus written instructions. The goal is to improve bowel cleanliness and reduce anxiety, making the procedure easier and more successful.
