This lesson will provide background knowledge for the process of diagnosing psychological disorders. Students will review the definition of stigma, and learn about abnormal behavior.
This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Requests for medical imaging and radiologist reports are on the rise in hospital emergency departments. The increase in demand has raised concerns regarding x-ray image interpretation, resulting in longer turnaround times. To maintain a high standard of patient care, researchers suggest that radiographers provide an initial opinion of images using a clear system to quickly communicate these findings with the medical team. Radiographer Preliminary Image Evaluation, or PIE, is an Australian system that complements the radiologist’s report. A PIE can assist an emergency referrer in their diagnosis more quickly when the radiologist’s report is delayed reducing the likelihood of a missed abnormality on medical images. The study concluded that radiographers operate at a relatively high accuracy with PIE in place potentially improving emergency care service for patients..."
