Overview
Brief Summary
Aim
The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, perception, and experience of patients during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations in the radiology services of a tertiary care teaching hospital.
Objectives
-
To evaluate the level of knowledge that patients have about the purpose, process, and potential risks/side effects of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedure.
-
To assess patients’ perceptions of the MRI examination, including their level of comfort, anxiety, and overall satisfaction with the experience.
Materials
A Pre-validated questionnaire will be used in this study.
Methods
A cross-sectional prospective survey was conducted in the radiology department.
Patients who have undergone MRI during the specified period.
Simple Random Sampling with a target sample size of at least 422 patients.
A pre-validated questionnaire assessing patient’s knowledge, perception, and experience during MRI.
Covers demographic and clinical characteristics, knowledge about MRI, perceptions, and experience factors.
Tools used
Pre-validated questionnaires
Detailed description of procedure/processes:
Necessary permissions and clearances from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) will be obtained. Participants will be recruited using simple random sampling. As it’s a cross-sectional study, the data will be collected from the patients who visit the Radiology department. After collecting the individual patient’s data, the parameters’ assessment and relationship will be analysed. The simple flow chart below explains the detailed procedure: Initial screening of the Inpatients and outpatients in the Radiology departments and selection of the cases based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed consent will be obtained from the patients. Patient data will be collected. Analysis of Patients’ Knowledge, Perception and Experience during Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The relationships between Patients’ Knowledge, Perception, and Experience during Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Results and Conclusion
