New Frontiers for Communication between Radiographers and Paediatric Patients with Infectious Disease during Chest X-RayProcedures

Abstract

The communication between radiographers and paediatric patients with infectious disease during chest x-ray procedures is crucial to ensure the quality of healthcare services provided. Children aged between 5 to 8 years old with infectious diseases can be particularly challenging to communicate with during chest x-ray procedures, as they may not fully understand the purpose of the procedure, feel anxious or scared, or find it difficult to remain still. Therefore, the purpose of this research article is to explore new frontiers for communication between radiographers and paediatric patients with infectious disease aged between 5 to 8 years old during chest x-ray procedures.
