■腹痛是急诊科常见的主诉。放射技师关于进行腹部检查的临床适应症的知识和实践对于产生的X射线照片的结果至关重要。
■确定放射技师关于进行腹部X线检查的临床适应症的知识和实践。
■东开普省的四家公立医院,南非。
■进行了横断面研究,使用便利,n=85名放射技师的全包样本。在2020年2月至6月之间分发了一份硬拷贝的自我管理问卷。使用IBM®SPSS®26.0版软件包生成描述性(平均值和标准偏差)和推断性(chi²检验)统计数据。
■了解临床适应症的平均值为59.41。所有四个人口统计数据(年龄,多年的经验,参加短期课程和参加模式识别课程)与整体知识显着相关。此外,短期课程出勤率与大多数练习项目显著相关,和两个知识项目(哪些视图是针对穿孔完成的;哪些视图显示了刺伤的腹部)。模式识别与一个知识项目(这些观点被视为急腹症)显着相关。
■尽管缺乏短期课程和模式识别课程,放射技师对临床适应症的了解良好(>50%)。持续培训,为放射技师进行普通腹部放射照相检查的临床适应症的可访问协议,审计,建议提供反馈和提醒,以提高方案的依从性.
■研究结果可用于增强放射技师对腹部平片检查临床适应症的认识和实践。
UNASSIGNED: Abdominal pain is a common complaint in the Emergency Department. Radiographers\' knowledge and practices regarding clinical indications for performing abdominal examinations are crucial in the results radiographs produced.
UNASSIGNED: To determine the knowledge and practices of radiographers regarding the clinical indications for performing radiographic examinations of the abdomen.
UNASSIGNED: Four public hospitals in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted, using a convenience, all-inclusive sample of n = 85 radiographers. A hard copy self-administered questionnaire was distributed between February and June 2020. Descriptive (mean and standard deviations) and inferential (chi² test) statistics were generated using IBM® SPSS® version 26.0 software package.
UNASSIGNED: Knowledge of clinical indications had a mean of 59.41. All four demographics (age, years of experience, attended a short course and attended pattern recognition course) were significantly associated with overall knowledge. Additionally, short course attendance was significantly associated with most practice items, and two knowledge items (which views are done for perforation; and which view(s) demonstrate a stab abdomen). Pattern recognition was significantly associated with one knowledge item (which views are regarded as an acute abdomen).
UNASSIGNED: Despite the lack of short courses and pattern recognition courses, radiographers\' knowledge of clinical indications was good (>50%). Continuous training, accessible protocols for performing clinical indications for plain abdominal radiographic examinations for radiographers, audit, feedback and reminders to enhance protocol adherence are recommended.
UNASSIGNED: The study findings could be used to enhance knowledge and practices regarding clinical indications for plain abdominal radiographic examinations among radiographers.
