    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Radiology Patient Management

    Background:

    • Patient anxiety and uncooperative behavior in radiology settings are frequently rooted in socio-psychological factors.
    • Traditional approaches may overlook the psychological origins of patient non-compliance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of behavioral psychology and communication skills in radiology technology curricula.
    • To investigate methods for reducing patient anxiety and improving cooperation during radiological examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Reviewing the socio-psychological origins of patient anxiety and non-cooperation.
    • Analyzing the impact of patient and family education (interviews, videotapes) on anxiety levels.
    • Evaluating the effectiveness of anxiety-reducing techniques in clinical practice.
