Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Patient safety has been an undervalued component of quality healthcare but is a challenging area of research.Ultrasound is the most common imaging modality in the world. Research on patient safety in ultrasound is generally focused on bioeffects and safe operation of ultrasound equipment. However, other safety issues exist in practice that warrant consideration.This paper forms the first part of a PhD study exploring patient safety in medical diagnostic ultrasound, beyond the notion of bioeffects.The ultimate aim of the study is to inform the final phase of the research study which will consider the next steps in improving the quality and safety of healthcare experienced by patients.
UNASSIGNED: A qualitative study using semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. A thematic analysis categorised data into codes and generated final themes.
UNASSIGNED: A heterogeneous mix of 31 sonographers, who reflected the profile of the profession in Australia, were interviewed between September 2019 and January 2020. Seven themes emerged from the analysis. These were bioeffects, physical safety, workload, reporting, professionalism, intimate examinations and infection control.
UNASSIGNED: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of sonographers\' perceptions of patient safety in ultrasound imaging, not previously available in the literature. Consistent with the literature, patient safety in ultrasound tends to be viewed in technical terms through the potential for bioeffects of tissue damage or physical harm to the patient. However, other patient safety issues have emerged, and while not as well recognised, have the potential to negatively impact on patient safety.

摘要：
■患者安全一直是高质量医疗保健的被低估的组成部分，但却是一个具有挑战性的研究领域。超声是世界上最常见的成像模式。对超声患者安全性的研究通常集中在超声设备的生物效应和安全操作上。然而,在实践中存在其他值得考虑的安全问题。本文构成了博士研究的第一部分，该研究探索了医学诊断超声中的患者安全，超越了生物效应的概念。该研究的最终目标是告知研究研究的最后阶段，该阶段将考虑提高患者所经历的医疗保健质量和安全性的下一步措施。
■使用半结构化，一对一的采访。主题分析将数据分类为代码并生成最终主题。
■31名超声波检查者的异质混合物，反映了澳大利亚职业的概况，在2019年9月至2020年1月期间接受了采访。分析中出现了七个主题。这些是生物效应，身体安全,工作量,reporting,敬业精神,亲密检查和感染控制。
■本研究全面分析了超声检查人员对超声成像中患者安全的看法，以前在文献中没有。与文献一致，患者在超声中的安全性倾向于通过组织损伤或对患者的身体伤害的生物效应的可能性来看待技术术语。然而,出现了其他患者安全问题，虽然没有得到很好的认可，有可能对患者安全产生负面影响。
