Résumé
Assessing patient experiences is essential to provide high quality health-care. The objectives of this study were to examine (1) child- and parent-reported information status before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (2) experiences during an MRI and (3) needs and suggestions for improvement. Children (≥8 years) and parents answered questionnaires (before and after planned MRI examination) covering mental condition, information status/needs, preparation for MRI, and potential stressors. Before MRI n = 132 accompanying parents and n = 91 children provided data (after MRI: n = 93 parents; n = 71 children). The mean age of the children undergoing MRI was 10.5 years (SD = 4.9). Children had on average seven previous MRIs before our survey (Range: 1-33). Twenty-three percent of the children were to be sedated during the examination. Parents and children reported low to medium levels of burden, high knowledge and high information status. For the children, most stressful factors during the MRI were boredom and noise. Main information resources were the radiologists or self-searches. Parents of children with their first MRI reported higher anxiety levels in their children and stated a worse information status (main information source: self-searches/internet). Parents reported needs regarding organization of the MRI (e.g., reduction of waiting times), age-appropriate information and communication during the MRI. Children wished to visit the MRI room prior the examination (44%) and to get more information (44%). Children suggested improvements such as better sound quality of films/music, more transparency about the procedure, being in contact with a parent and shorter examinations. Results suggest that preparation, information provision and care is perceived positively by families. Needs and suggestions for improvement were, for example, higher transparency of procedures, better communication and reduction of stress. Findings indicate that preparation in routine-care should follow an individualized child-focused approach, should focus on families without previous MRIs and should address children with high anxiety levels.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Assessing patient experiences is essential to provide high quality health-care. The objectives of this study were to examine (1) child- and parent-reported information status before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (2) experiences during an MRI and (3) needs and suggestions for improvement.
METHODS
METHODS
Children (≥8 years) and parents answered questionnaires (before and after planned MRI examination) covering mental condition, information status/needs, preparation for MRI, and potential stressors. Before MRI n = 132 accompanying parents and n = 91 children provided data (after MRI: n = 93 parents; n = 71 children). The mean age of the children undergoing MRI was 10.5 years (SD = 4.9). Children had on average seven previous MRIs before our survey (Range: 1-33). Twenty-three percent of the children were to be sedated during the examination.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Parents and children reported low to medium levels of burden, high knowledge and high information status. For the children, most stressful factors during the MRI were boredom and noise. Main information resources were the radiologists or self-searches. Parents of children with their first MRI reported higher anxiety levels in their children and stated a worse information status (main information source: self-searches/internet). Parents reported needs regarding organization of the MRI (e.g., reduction of waiting times), age-appropriate information and communication during the MRI. Children wished to visit the MRI room prior the examination (44%) and to get more information (44%). Children suggested improvements such as better sound quality of films/music, more transparency about the procedure, being in contact with a parent and shorter examinations.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Results suggest that preparation, information provision and care is perceived positively by families. Needs and suggestions for improvement were, for example, higher transparency of procedures, better communication and reduction of stress. Findings indicate that preparation in routine-care should follow an individualized child-focused approach, should focus on families without previous MRIs and should address children with high anxiety levels.
