title: The effect of different patient education methods on quality of bowel cleanliness in outpatients receiving colonoscopy examination.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effectiveness of an educational film intervention on the quality of bowel cleanliness of outpatients receiving colonoscopy examinations and also to understand the related factors affecting bowel cleanliness.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is a quasi-experimental design. One hundred four patients in the experimental group and 114 patients in the control group are the participants in this study. An 8-minute "Preparation for Bowel Cleanliness" educational film was made based on clinical experience and references to related literature. We adopted a valid Aronchick scale evaluate bowel cleanliness.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patients in the experimental group had significantly better bowel cleanliness compared to the control group (80.8% vs. 48.2%, p<.001). Logistic regression showed that the experimental group, gender, and experience with colonoscopy were potentially important factors that may affect bowel cleanliness.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The "Preparation for Bowel Cleanliness" educational film provides simple and easy-to-follow methods for the preparation of cleaning the colon and related information.
