Background: MRI knowledge and safety are very important not for only MRI technicians, doctors, professionals but also for patients who are undergoing MRI examination. The key purpose of this research to evaluate the knowledge and perception of MRI Safety among patients, as accidents can happen due to patient’s insufficient knowledge regarding MRI. Method: The retrospective study was performed around 50 patients at Maharishi Markandeshwar institute of medical sciences and research, Ambala, Haryana. Questionnaire design was used to assess their knowledge and perception. The questionnaire form was filled by an investigator directly discussion with patients and the data was collected and analyzed using Microsoft excel sheet. Result: It was assessed that how much knowledge and what is the perception of MRI study among patients. There were 23 (46%) female and f 27 (54%) male in different age group. In response to question regarding how patients felt before MRI scan, 16% patients felt panic, 10% sensed fear and panic, fear and anxiety were experienced by 6% patients, fear was the emotion that 15 patients (30%) suffered, anxiety as the sole was felt by 7 (14%), for 2 (4%) regret was the sensation and 10 patients (20%) didn’t have any issue. Conclusions: The conclusion of this research depicted that majority of the patients were in dark with relation to the knowledge and perception of MRI. It is crucial to explain to the patients about the contraindications and rules regarding the MRI scan.

“…Elsewhere, Alghamdi and Shrestha reported similar findings. 12 , 15 Furthermore, it was reported that MRI technologists must keep patients safe and be capable of assessing MRI safety, patients’ conditions, and compatibility of medical devices. 15 This increases the need for patients to understand MRI examinations, which in most cases require preparations to improve image quality.…”

Purpose To assess the knowledge and attitudes of Saudi patients toward the safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 142 Saudi patients at King Khalid hospital, Asir, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a self-questionnaire based on MRI safety issues gained from the literature. The questionnaire was divided into two sections, one containing the respondents’ sociodemographic information and the other assessing their knowledge and attitudes toward participating in MRI. Results A total of 142 patients responded to the survey, and their average age was 31.5 ± 4 years. The majority were married and held a bachelor’s degree. The mean knowledge score regarding MRI safety was 0.29 ± 0.25, which reflects poor knowledge, whereas the attitude score was 0.67 ± 0.20, reflecting a moderately positive attitude. Awareness and attitude among patients improved as education levels increased. Finally, only 53.5% of the respondents were aware of the noise produced by the MRI scanner. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the awareness of MRI safety among patients in the Asir Region is poor, although they showed positive attitudes toward the issue. Thus, education is necessary for patients to improve awareness of MRI safety to facilitate MRI examinations, which will help decrease scan time and image artefacts.

“…The problem at hand is multifaceted and requires exploration to comprehensively address the intricacies of the nursing profession in Nepal. Firstly, the demanding nature of nursing in the Nepalese healthcare system is characterized by long working hours, high patient-to-nurse ratios, and challenging working conditions (Shrestha, 2017). These factors can potentially impede the overall QWL of nurses, affecting their job satisfaction and, subsequently, their ability to achieve a satisfactory work-life balance.…”

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of the quality of work-life on the work-life balance of nurses in Nepal. By examining the impact of quality of work-life on the equilibrium between professional and personal life, it aims to contribute insights for enhancing the overall well-being of nurses in the Nepalese healthcare sector. Methods: The research design employed a causal-comparative approach to investigate the impact of quality of work life on the work-life balance of nurses. The data was collected using a well-structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire from 200 nurses. Correlation and regression analyses were utilized to draw meaningful insights. Results: The findings of the study reveal that two key factors, namely job security and job satisfaction, significantly influence the work-life balance for nurses. This suggests that nurses who perceive higher job security and experience greater job satisfaction tend to have an improved work-life balance. However, the study did not find any significant impact of job commitment on work-life balance among nurses. Conclusion: The study underscores the pivotal role of job security and job satisfaction in shaping the quality of work life for nurses in Nepal. Higher perceived job security and increased job satisfaction emerge as key factors contributing to an enhanced work environment. Surprisingly, job commitment did not exhibit a significant influence on the quality of work life among nurses in this context. These findings highlight the importance of addressing specific aspects of job security and satisfaction to positively impact the overall work experience of nurses in Nepal.
