Abstract

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the most essential diagnostic medical imaging techniques. The most common disadvantage of MRI is that patients may feel anxious before the examination, which can negatively affect them, prevent them from attending or completing the examinations, and cause patient movement during the examination, which accordingly results in misinterpretation issues. Recently, several methods have been suggested to reduce MRI anxiety. Our study aimed to examine nurses’ roles in reducing the levels of patient anxiety during pre-MRI scans by using informative video. Methods: A cross-sectional and interventional study was conducted among MRI patients in Tabuk City. A convenience sample of 16 patients as the case group and 28 patients as the control group was included. A 2-minute informative video clip containing comprehensive instructions about MRI was recorded by the research team in the MRI room and introduced to patients 30 minutes before the scan in the waiting area. An Arabic version questionnaire (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) was used to measure the pre-MRI-related anxiety of patients in the case and control groups. State-trait anxiety scores were analyzed and compared between groups. Median pulse, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure were also compared between the cases and control groups using a p-value of 0.05. Results: The state anxiety score was significantly higher in cases compared to controls. However, the trait anxiety score was not significantly different between cases and controls. Females showed significantly higher state anxiety scores in the cases than in the controls. Based on the previous MRI experience, the cases group who had undergone a previous MRI had significantly higher state anxiety scores than those in the control group. Based on the educational degree, cases with bachelor’s degree had higher state anxiety scores than their counterparts in the control group. Conclusion: The present study showed that the self-made visual tool used by nurses 30 minutes before MRI scan did not reduce the level of anxiety significantly in patients. However, state anxiety scores increased in females, patients with previous MRI experience, and patients with a higher educational degree. Healthcare professionals may need to consider the negative effect of informative video before MRI. anxiolytic or audio-guided self-hypnosis techniques to reduce patients’ anxiety before MRI.

护士在MRI扫描前使用信息视频管理患者焦虑中的作用
背景:磁共振成像(MRI)已成为最重要的诊断医学成像技术之一。MRI最常见的缺点是,患者可能在检查前感到焦虑,这可能会对他们产生负面影响,阻止他们参加或完成检查,并导致患者在检查期间移动,从而导致误解问题。最近,已经提出了几种方法来减少MRI焦虑。我们的研究旨在通过使用信息视频来检查护士在MRI扫描前降低患者焦虑水平方面的作用。方法:对塔布克市的MRI患者进行横断面和介入性研究。包括16名患者作为病例组和28名患者作为对照组的方便样本。研究小组在MRI室录制了一段2分钟的信息视频剪辑,其中包含有关MRI的全面说明,并在扫描前30分钟在候诊区向患者介绍。阿拉伯版问卷(状态-特质焦虑量表)用于测量病例组和对照组患者的MRI前相关焦虑。分析状态-特质焦虑评分,并在各组之间进行比较。病例组和对照组的中位脉搏、血氧饱和度和血压也进行了比较,p值为0.05。结果:病例的状态焦虑评分明显高于对照组。然而,病例和对照组之间的特质焦虑评分没有显著差异。女性在这些病例中表现出明显高于对照组的状态焦虑评分。根据以往的MRI经验,接受过MRI检查的病例组的状态焦虑评分明显高于对照组。根据受教育程度,学士学位病例的状态焦虑得分高于对照组。结论:本研究表明,护士在MRI扫描前30分钟使用自制的视觉工具并不能显著降低患者的焦虑水平。然而,女性、有MRI病史的患者和受过高等教育的患者的状态焦虑评分增加。医疗保健专业人员可能需要在MRI之前考虑信息视频的负面影响。抗焦虑或音频引导的自我催眠技术,以减少MRI前患者的焦虑。
