The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of education and test information provision on anxiety, discomfort, and satisfaction of patients during double contrast barium enema. The experiments were conducted from October 11, 2010 to November 5, 2010. Among all patients who visited the hospital to receive colon study in the outpatient radiology clinic of one general hospital located in Seoul, a total of 50 patients fit for selection criteria were divided into an experimental group (25) and a control group (25). After providing education and test information to the experimental group, we evaluated patients’ levels of anxiety and discomfort, as well as satisfaction. The experimental group and the control group had different anxiety scores: 3.76 versus 6.04 respectively (P<0.05). In addition, the levels of abdominal pain and anal pain in the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Lastly, the scores of test satisfaction between two groups were 89.6 and 67.4 respectively (P<0.05). Education and test information provision about the colon study decreased the levels of patients’ anxiety and discomfort and increased satisfaction level of the test.
