Bridging the Communication Gap between Radiographers and Patients to Improve Chest Radiography Image Acquisition: A Multilingual Solution in the COVID-19 PandemicHaralabos Papatheodorou
Haralabos Papatheodorou:
"Translation manuals and pre-recorded audio instructions were explored and assessed in the study to address the issue of language barrier, as identified in the survey. They were utilised by radiographers to acquire CXRs in full inspiration, for dormitory residents who do not share a common language. Page 6 of 8After the implementation of pre-recorded audio instructions, radiographers have successfully achieved fully-inspired CXRs for 92.3% of suspected COVID-19 patients. This was evident by a decrease in the reject rate for CXR, coupled with an audit that proved that the quality of CXR remained. This confirmed that pre-recorded audio instructions was an efficient proposed intervention, despite serving as a form of one-way communication tool to the patients. Overall, these findings showed that better communication led to more accurate imaging results, corresponding to existing literature on communication experiences between healthcare professionals and patients. Moreover, the decreased rejection rate of CXRs had increased department efficiency and radiographers’ confidence, consequently reducing departmental expenses in the long run." February 15
