Comparing the effect of usual bowel preparation and sodium phosphates preparation ‎method on patient acceptance under colonoscopy ‎

Introduction: Colonoscopy is a method of endoscopy of lower gastrointestinal system which needs &lrm;proper colon preparation that allows proper assessment, diagnosis and treatment. There are different &lrm;methods of bowel preparation available. Therefore more research by critical nurses can result in &lrm;better care.&lrm; Objective: The aim of present study is to compare the routine method (Castor oil and Bisacodyl &lrm;tablet) and oral sodium phosphate on the level of patient&rsquo;s acceptance in patient undergoing &lrm;colonoscopy.&lrm; &nbsp;Methods: This is a Quasi-experimental study, which was done on &lrm;&rlm;90&rlm;&lrm; out patient candidates for &lrm;colonoscopy referring to Razi-educational center. Samples were randomly chosen on the visit day &lrm;and divided to &lrm;&rlm;2&rlm;&lrm; groups of experiment and control. Data collection instrument included a &lrm;demographic questionnaire and a checklist to assess the level of patient&rsquo;s acceptance and bowel &lrm;preparation. Primarily demographic data form was filled at that time, and then intervention was &lrm;done for two groups with &lrm;&rlm;45&rlm;&lrm; samples. The patient acceptance checklist was filled by interview &lrm;method on the day of performing colonoscopy procedure.&lrm; Results: Finding indicated that patient&rsquo;s acceptance was better with oral sodium phosphate and chi-&lrm;square and Fisher&rsquo;s exact tests showed a significant difference on the level of patient&rsquo;s acceptance &lrm;&lrm;(p< &lrm;&rlm;0.000&rlm;&lrm;). &lrm; Conclusion: According to this result oral liquid sodium phosphate has caused better acceptance &lrm;compared with routine regimes (Castor oil and Bisacodyl tablet) in patients under colonoscopy.&lrm;
