Patient Satisfaction With Novel Double Pants Compared to Conventional Single Pants for Outpatient Colonoscopy: Prospective Randomized Study

Eighty examinees will wear conventional single pants and another eighty examinees will wear
novel double pants randomly. Examinees who underwent colonoscopy within 3 years, with
history of bowel resection surgery, cancer, colostomy or ileostomy, psychotic disease such
as depression, anxiety disorder, obsessive disorder, treated with emergent colonoscopic
procedure, and pregnant or lactating women, an illiterate person and foreigners will be
excluded. Questionnaires before colonoscopy are educational background, martial status,
indication of colonoscopy, examinee's preference of doctor's gender, and State-trait anxiety
level of examinee. Questionnaires after colonoscopy are shame and trait anxiety level, and
satisfaction of examinee during colonoscopy. We will also investigate colonoscopy specific
quality Indicators such as the ASA status (American society of anesthesiologist's physical
status), complications, procedure success. Finally we will compare the difference of
satisfaction, shame, and anxiety during colonoscopy between examinees wearing novel double
pants and conventional single pants
