dc.description | Introduction Patient experience is an essential component of delivering person-centered care. This is particularly the case for patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a known trigger of emotional anxiety and stress. Methods Patients referred for MRI were invited to participate in a service evaluation via a survey. The aim was to record and report upon their experience of MRI and what mattered to them when having a scan. Insights on their use of support strategies and their considered effectiveness were also obtained. Results Patients experienced the early stages of their journey as an emotional low, with greatest concern noted on entry to the scan room and during the scan. The importance of staff interaction was emphasized along with being sufficiently informed on what to expect. Conclusion The experience of MRI varies from patient to patient but understanding the potential sources and triggers of anxiety that may require additional support can help staff better deliver person-centered care. | en_GB |
