| Core Tip |
This large-scale survey evaluated patient satisfaction with colonoscopies performed within the Hungarian population-based colorectal cancer screening program. Analysis of 4010 questionnaires (response rate, 40.6%) showed that overall patient satisfaction with colonoscopy was very high, yet procedure-related discomfort and pain remained important challenges. Satisfaction is crucial for continued adherence to screening programs; thus, targeted quality improvements may promote sustained long-term participation. The results suggest that overall satisfaction may be further improved by optimizing pain management, sedation practices, post-procedural recovery conditions, and communication between healthcare professionals and patients. |
