Results or findings
The most relevant aspects of the information needed by patients and carers in diagnostic procedures has been studied and a leaflet has been created to answer possible concerns about these procedures. Figures 1 and 2 show back and front of this leaflet. The information is intended to be easily understandable, presented as questions that could be asked by the interested persons, with images and a simple and direct vocabulary to be more understandable, and therefore reach more public.
30 people have answered the survey and data have been analyzed in order to obtain some feedback.
80% of the surveyed people agreed that the information leaflet answered completely the doubts they had about the exam they were undergoing.
27% of those surveyed considered that more information should be given regarding the side effects of radiation, while 92% considered that the information provided was adequate, and 88% of those surveyed thought that this leaflet reassured them about the medical exposure.
Figure 3 presents the poster intended at pregnant women, which has been implemented and well received at paediatric waiting rooms, and has supposed that more women advise the technicians on their possible pregnancy prior to enter the x ray room as a parent helping her child during the procedure.
