The aim of this study was to determine the effect of foot and abdominal massage applied to after colonoscopy on abdominal distention, pain and patient satisfaction.This was a randomized controlled experimental study conducted at the Colonoscopy unit in Medica Faculty Hospital . Participants assigned to the intervention group-1 received foot massages after colonoscopy, participants assigned to the intervention group-2 received abdominal massages after colonoscopy and participants assigned to the intervention group-3 received foot and abdominal massages after colonoscopy. Participants assigned to the control group received only "routine care" after colonoscopy. The abdominal pain, distension and satisfaction levels of the patients evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale
