Patient-Reported Feedback After Colonoscopy in the Bowel Screening Program (PROM)

The purpose of patient reporting in the Colorectal Screening Program

Colonoscopy is a procedure that can cause discomfort and complications for some individuals. Experiences during and after colonoscopy can therefore affect participation and thus the effectiveness of the screening offer. The purpose of monitoring this is to gain greater knowledge about patient experiences and complications associated with colonoscopy examination in the Colorectal Screening Program.

Participants' direct feedback is important as a basis for ongoing quality improvement and adjustments in the Colorectal screening program.

To assess patient experiences, two questionnaires are used for participants after they have undergone colonoscopy - one for completion the day after colonoscopy focusing on pain and experiences related to the examination itself, and another after 30 days with a specific focus on complications.

Voluntary participation and the option to withdraw consent
