Background:
Effective bowel preparation is critical for successful colonoscopy, yet inadequate preparation frequently impairs outcomes.
Purpose:
This study evaluated personalized nursing care (PNC) against standard care in improving bowel preparation quality for colonoscopy.
Methods:
A prospective, 2-phase, single-center trial was conducted from July 2023 to July 2024. In phase 1, patients received standard care; in phase 2, personalized preparations were used.
Results:
Among 1057 patients, PNC significantly improved bowel preparation quality ( P < .001). Adequate preparation was achieved by 79% of the PNC group vs 64.3% of the control group. Adherence to bowel preparation was higher in the PNC group (84.0% vs 70.4%, P < .001), as were polyp detection rates (38.2% vs 28.1%, P = .003). Patient satisfaction increased with PNC interventions.
Conclusion:
PNC enhances colonoscopy preparation, boosting clinical effectiveness and patient satisfaction and advocating for its integration into routine protocols.
