Core Tip
Core tip: We developed novel double pants (NDP) those are consisted of double fabrics with an inner hole. We compared the satisfaction, anxiety and shame between NDP and conventional single pants (CSP). The examinees in NDP group responded higher pants specific satisfaction, lower state anxiety after colonoscopy and lower shame score compared to those in CSP group. NDP developed in our institute may contribute to increase satisfaction and decrease anxiety and shame after colonoscopy.
