Clinical Trial Summary

Background: Participants in the colon and rectal cancer (CRC) screening program that have a positive result in the Fecal Immunological Test (FIT) are visited by the screening nurse who explains the meaning of the positive test and the need to perform a colonoscopy. Having a positive result in the screening test can have a negative psychological impact on patients causing anguish. Objective: To evaluate whether the use of iconographies to communicate the risks of possible diagnoses to patients with positive FIT improves the understanding of the information and reduces the degree of anguish. Methods: Quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study with a control group. 240 individuals (men and women between 50-69 years of age, with a positive FIT result attending the nursing visit) will be included in two non-concurrent study groups (120 individuals per group). The control group will receive the nurse visit as usual. For the intervention group, the nurse will use iconographies to communicate the risk of the different possible diagnoses and the risk of complications of the colonoscopy. The degree of distress (Distress Thermometer and a scale of emotion-faces) will be measured before and after the visit and the understanding of the information (visual analog scale) after the visit. The degree of distress between the control group and intervention group will be compared. If the results are favorable, the systematic use of iconographies can be implemented in the nursing screening visit and be extended to other Screening Units.
