| Popis: | This study identified preparatory information appropriate for patients undergoing myelogram. Twenty-eight patients (16 lumbar and 12 cervical) described the sensations they experienced as they were having a myelogram. Sensations reported by 40% or more of the participants having both kinds of myelograms included hard, cold examining table; wet and cold cleansing of site; stick with injection of local anesthetic; sharp stick with spinal needle insertion; and burning (cervical) or sharp, tingling (lumbar) with contrast medium injection. These sensations, linked with the temporal elements of the procedure, yield a preparatory information intervention appropriate for those scheduled for myelogram. When preparatory information is used for the same myelogram procedure as described in this study, patients should experience reduced anxiety before and during the procedure. |
