  • Nursing staff training modules on suppository administration and patient counseling were developed.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary findings suggest patient education may be more impactful in addressing psychological barriers.
    • Nurse training showed a moderate increase in confidence but less effect on patient acceptance.
    • Further analysis is needed to correlate interventions with actual suppository usage rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient-centered education appears to be a key factor in overcoming psychological resistance to suppositories.
    • Healthcare providers should consider tailored educational strategies for patients.
    • Further research should evaluate long-term adherence and clinical efficacy following intervention.
