Medicine and Surgery Final Year Topic: Clarity of Public Radiology Patient-Information Materials about Appointment Preparation

This Medicine and Surgery final year project examines adult readers’ interpretation of public radiology appointment-preparation information without asking about a personal diagnosis or care decision.

Why choose this project topic?

Appointment materials can contain several steps, unfamiliar terms and contact routes. A bounded comprehension task lets you compare what a document says with what adult readers understand, while keeping the study away from clinical advice or patient records.

How do consenting adult readers interpret selected appointment, preparation and contact details in public radiology information materials?

Choose the public materials, appointment fields, adult-reader group and comprehension tasks with the supervisor; confirm that no clinical decision is being tested.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Identify current public radiology materials and verify their issuing source and date.
  2. 02Measure how consenting adult readers interpret specified non-clinical appointment details.
  3. 03Compare reader interpretations with the source wording and identify ambiguous fields.

A suggested research approach

Select a small set of current public materials from verified issuers and define the information fields before recruitment. Ask consenting adults to complete neutral comprehension tasks about appointment timing, preparation wording and where to ask questions. Do not collect health histories, imaging results or personal care decisions. Compare each answer with the document text, preserve uncertain responses and report the task as a communication review rather than a clinical evaluation.

What you will need

  • Current public materials with a verified issuer and publication date
  • Ethics approval and voluntary adult-reader recruitment
  • A non-clinical comprehension instrument and a plan to avoid collecting personal health information

Keep your project scope clear

The study evaluates interpretation of public wording only. It does not assess whether an imaging examination is appropriate, recommend preparation or establish patient outcomes.
