To describe patients' and radiographers' experiences of abdominal compression using conventional and patient-controlled compression methods.
Qualitative descriptive design.
Forty-five patients who had used both a conventional and a patient-controlled compression device answered questionnaires. Five radiographers were interviewed. The data-collection took place between September 2015 and February 2017. Data were analysed by qualitative content analysis.
Patient-controlled compression was preferred by slightly more patients because of fear of pain due to excessively hard pressure, maintaining control over the pressure and shorter duration. It was more comfortable, and patients felt they could participate in the examinations. Conventional compression was preferred by some because of more stable pressure and uncertainty of own capacity to provide the optimal compression. Discomfort was more often mentioned concerning the conventional compression method. The radiographers experienced the patient-controlled method as less time-consuming and more comfortable, but uncertainty about correct compression technique and its effect on radiation dose and image quality was reported.
描述患者和放射技师使用传统压迫方法及患者自控压迫方法进行腹部压迫的体验。
定性描述性设计。
45名使用过传统压迫装置和患者自控压迫装置的患者回答了问卷。对5名放射技师进行了访谈。数据收集于2015年9月至2017年2月期间进行。采用定性内容分析法对数据进行分析。
略多一些患者更倾向于患者自控压迫,原因是担心因压力过大而疼痛、能控制压力以及持续时间较短。它更舒适,患者感觉自己能够参与检查。一些人更倾向于传统压迫,因为压力更稳定且不确定自己是否有能力提供最佳压迫。更多时候提到传统压迫方法会带来不适。放射技师认为患者自控方法更省时且更舒适,但报告了对正确压迫技术及其对辐射剂量和图像质量影响的不确定性。
