Summary

This study tested whether online counseling from a nurse, starting 24 hours before a colonoscopy, could help patients feel less pain and anxiety and be more comfortable. Sixty adults were split into two groups: one got standard care, the other got extra nurse support via face-to-face teaching, phone calls, and WhatsApp messages. Researchers measured anxiety, pain, and comfort levels during the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nurse-delivered online counseling (education, telephone support, reminder messages via WhatsApp)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to make colonoscopy less stressful and painful for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
