- A scoping review of person-centred care strategies used in diagnostic Nuclear MedicinePublication . Champendal, M.; Grima, K. Borg; Costa, Pedro; Andersson, C.; Baun, C.; Gorga, R.G.; Murphy, S.; Kedves, A.; Santos, A.; Geao, A.Person-centred care (PCC) emphasises the need for the health care professional to prioritise individual patient needs, thereby fostering a collaborative and emphatic environment that empowers patients to actively participate in their own care. This article will explore the purpose of PCC in Nuclear Medicine (NM), while discussing strategies that may be used to implement PCC during diagnostic NM examinations performed on adult patients. The scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The search was performed on PubMed, Embase and Cinhal in June 2023 and included studies in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. The research equation combined keywords and Medical Subject Heading terms (MeSH) related to person-centred care (PCC), for all types of nuclear medicine diagnostic examinations performed. Three independent review authors screened all abstracts and titles, and all eligible full-text publications were included in this scoping review. Fifty-three articles, published between 1993 and 2022, met the inclusion criteria for this scoping review. Seven articles were published in 2015 while 56.6 % of all included studies were performed in Europe. Most studies (n = 39/53) focused on the patients only, with the identified patient benefits being: improve patient experience (67.9 %), increase patient comfort (13.2 %), increase patient knowledge (5.7 %), reduction of patient anxiety (9.4 %) and reduction of waiting/scan time (3.8 %). The scoping review identified a lack of research investigating the use of person-centred care strategies in NM. Future research will focus on using an international survey to explore this topic in nuclear medicine departments overseas.
- A scoping review of sustainable strategies adopted in nuclear medicinePublication . Ribeiro, D. F.; Grimab, K. B.; Geao, A.; Andersson, C.; Murphy, S.; Costa, Pedro; Baung, C.; Karangelis, A.; Champendal, M.; Costa, PedroSustainable development is an approach that must be applied to all areas within healthcare, especially those in constant technological development, such as nuclear medicine. The aim of this study was to scope the literature to identify knowledge gaps in the sustainable development of the nuclear medicine field. The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews was employed. A search strategy was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science in December 2024 using Mesh terms and keywords related to sustainability development and nuclear medicine. Three independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full text. Four authors performed the data extraction and analysis. A total of 36 studies met the inclusion criteria. The majority originated from Spain, and most were published in 2022 and 2023. Studies were categorised by procedure type: 33.3 % focused on therapy, 9.7 % on PET imaging, 33.3 % on diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and 18.1 % on SPECT imaging. They were also categorised by location to include research conducted in hospital settings (n = 23), non-hospital settings (n = 8), both (n = 4) or none (n = 1). Reviewed studies implemented sustainability measures across the sustainability pillars: environmental (n = 30), economic (n = 12), and social (n = 9) pillars. This scoping review has highlighted the growing interest in sustainability, within the nuclear medicine field. Findings indicate that there is a strong emphasis on reducing environmental impact, with efforts such as waste minimisation, implementation of alternative discharge methods, and radionuclide extraction systems gaining popularity; however, further evidence is needed to understand the economic and social impact of nuclear medicine procedures. The scoping review identified a range of strategies focused on mitigating the adverse impact on the environment and working towards efficient economic and social resources, to foster sustainable practices in nuclear medicine.
