There was significant difference of satisfaction and anxiety level between control and experimental group after colonoscopy (p < .01). Most of the patients in the experimental group were satisfied with colonoscopy services at very good and excellent levels (75.9%, 24.1%). They received a good bowel preparation expressed by the color of the fluid in their bowel during colonoscopy while the clearance of the patient's bowel in the experimental group was good and excellent level 65.82%, 22.78%, respectively. Pain levels increased to 4.96 ± 2.02 in the experiment group and 6.41 ±2.10 in the control group. However, there were no differences between two groups.
