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.
■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。
