Since routine mammography has been in the environment performed alone by one radiological technologist (RT) in many medical institutes, there is much anxiety in respect of diagnostic accuracy. In this study, we evaluated whether medical anxiety would relieve or not through extracting uneasy elements and forming measure to them.
“Shortage of knowledge required in order to diagnose mammography” became clear as an uneasy element by our evaluations.
Especially, since it turned out that distinction of mass lesions is difficult, we created the text for exclusive use as solution and trained RT (2people) by using this.
In results, after this training ability for diagnosing mammography improved 25% higher than that before training, and up to 60% of anxiety complex decreased.
From above our evaluation, “creation of the exclusive text by experienced RT and instruction training by using this text” were quite effective for uneasy measures in mammography study. And through these training the necessary knowledge for diagnosing mammography could be obtained and anxiety complex could be relived.
