. Assessing the level of anxiety in oncology patients who underwent F-FDG PET/CT low dose scan and identifying the main reasons that generate anxiety. . The study included 81 cancer patients submitted to the F-FDG PET/CT low dose scan. Patients filled in the Scan Experience Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after F-FDG PET/CT low dose scan. . Substantial levels of anxiety were detected both before and after F-FDG PET/CT low dose scan (STAI mean > 30), with a significant increase in the state of anxiety after scan performance ( < 0.0001, Median = 31.1, and Median = 33.0). F-FDG PET/CT low dose results are the main cause of anxiety both before (79.1%) and after (86.9%) the scan. The information provided by staff both before and on the F-FDG PET/CT low dose day was classified mostly as completely understandable (70.5% and 75.3%, resp.) and as very useful (70.5% and 72.6%, resp.) and correlated positively with patients' overall satisfaction with NM Department ( = 0.372, = 0.004 and = 0.528, = 0.000, resp.), but not with anxiety levels. . Patients perceive high levels of anxiety during the F-FDG PET/CT low dose scan and the concern with scan results was pointed out as the main factor for that emotional reaction.
评估接受F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描的肿瘤患者的焦虑水平,并确定产生焦虑的主要原因。本研究纳入了81例接受F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描的癌症患者。患者在F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描前后填写扫描体验问卷和状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)。在F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描前后均检测到较高水平的焦虑(STAI均值>30),扫描后焦虑状态显著增加(<0.0001,中位数=31.1,中位数=33.0)。F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描结果是扫描前(79.1%)和扫描后(86.9%)焦虑的主要原因。在F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描前及扫描当天工作人员提供的信息大多被归类为完全可理解(分别为70.5%和75.3%)和非常有用(分别为70.5%和72.6%),且与患者对核医学科的总体满意度呈正相关(分别为=0.372,=0.004和=0.528,=0.000),但与焦虑水平无关。患者在F-FDG PET/CT低剂量扫描期间感受到高水平的焦虑,对扫描结果的担忧被指出是产生这种情绪反应的主要因素。
