Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

48
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Patient Care
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Chaperones are commonly used during sensitive patient encounters.
  • Their benefit to both patient and provider is often assumed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patient preferences for chaperone use.
  • To identify factors influencing these preferences.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to patients via ResearchMatch and an outpatient urology clinic.
  • Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used.

Main Results:

  • Over half of 913 responders (52.9%) did not want a chaperone for any part of a visit.
  • Few preferred chaperones for sensitive rectal (25.4%) or genital/pelvic (15.7%) exams.
  • Trust in the provider and comfort were key reasons for declining chaperones.

Conclusions:

  • Patient gender and provider gender are primary influences on chaperone preference.
  • Most patients do not prefer chaperones for sensitive urological examinations.
