Clinical Practice

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impact of a structured training program on the ability of Radiologic Technologists (RTs) to safely and effectively perform peripheral venous access (PVA) placement for contrast media administration in a radiodiagnostic setting. The study focuses on adult patients undergoing contrast-enhanced imaging procedures and on Radiologic Technologists who have completed a competency-based theoretical and practical training program on peripheral venous access management. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a structured training program improve the theoretical knowledge and technical competencies of Radiologic Technologists in peripheral venous access placement? * What is the incidence of complications associated with peripheral venous access placement performed by trained Radiologic Technologists in routine clinical practice? * How do patients perceive the procedure in terms of pain, safety, procedural success, and overall satisfaction? Participants: * Radiologic Technologists will participate in a structured theoretical and practical training program focused on peripheral venous access placement for contrast media administration. * Radiologic Technologists will perform peripheral venous access placement during routine radiodiagnostic procedures following completion of the training. * Patients undergoing contrast-enhanced imaging will receive peripheral venous access placement performed by trained Radiologic Technologists and will complete questionnaires assessing pain, satisfaction, and perceived safety of the procedure.

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest design to examine the effect of the operating room environment experience of preoperative patients using virtual reality glasses on the patients' preoperative surgical fear level and care perceptions.
