A Video Intervention to Decrease Patient Fear of Colonoscopy After a Positive Fecal Immunochemical Test

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2023
This clinical trial compares an educational video intervention versus usual care of no video intervention in decreasing patient fear of a colonoscopy procedure after receiving a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT). The lack of a follow-up colonoscopy after an abnormal FIT result is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer mortality, advanced-stage colorectal cancer, among other complications, compared to the completion of a follow-up colonoscopy. An educational video may reduce patient fear and increase knowledge, self-efficacy, and intent to complete a colonoscopy compared to the usual care of no video intervention.
