Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Individual Introductory Information Form	This form, which was created by the researcher with the support of the relevant literature, consists of 11 questions questioning the patients' education level, age,gender, employment status, marital status,income level, the coping methods they use when there is distension in their daily lives, the coping methods they use when there is pain in their daily lives, the status of having a colonoscopy before, the history of abdominal pain and distension of those who have a colonoscopy experience.	15 minutes
Secondary	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	The patient was asked to make a mark on a 10 cm horizontal line on the Visual analog scale showing his current state. In this study, for pain and distension; Markings were made on a 10 cm horizontal line, one end of which indicates that the patient's pain is very good (0 = no pain) and the other end is that the patient's pain is very bad (10 = most severe). The distance from the point where there was no pain and distension (0) to the point marked by the patient was measured. The value found shows the severity of pain and distention of the patient.	10 minutes
