Resumo(s)
Patient engagement is essential for ensuring quality and safe care in nuclear medicine. It is linked to higher compliance in terms of following the procedure itself as well as the associated radiation protection instructions, directly contributing to the quality of the final imaging results and foremost leading to overall improved patient experiences and satisfaction. Patient engagement is influenced by factors related not only to patients, but also to health professionals and departmental practices. In this chapter, the authors, including Nuclear Medicine Technologists and Radiographers (hereafter referred to as “Nuclear Medicine Practitioners”), describe critical aspects of patient engagement. These include patient education and information, effective communication and interaction, holistically ensuring patient comfort and a positive experience, maintaining patient safety, and demonstrating cultural sensitivity. At the end of the chapter, a checklist is provided to help professionals assess their skills in engaging with each patient.
