• W4313555614 abstract "Background: Autistic individuals might undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination for clinical concerns or research. Increased sensory stimulation, lack of appropriate environmental adjustments, or lack of streamlined communication in the MRI suite may pose challenges to autistic patients and render MRI scans inaccessible. This study aimed at (i) exploring the MRI scan experiences of autistic adults in the United Kingdom; (ii) identifying barriers and enablers toward successful and safe MRI examinations; (iii) assessing autistic individuals' satisfaction with MRI service; and (iv) informing future recommendations for practice improvement. Methods: We distributed an online survey to the autistic community on social media, using snowball sampling. Inclusion criteria were: being older than 16, have an autism diagnosis or self-diagnosis, self-reported capacity to consent, and having had an MRI scan in the United Kingdom. We used descriptive statistics for demographics, inferential statistics for group comparisons/correlations, and content analysis for qualitative data. Results: We received 112 responses. A total of 29.6% of the respondents reported not being sent any information before the scan. Most participants (68%) confirmed that radiographers provided detailed information on the day of the examination, but only 17.1% reported that radiographers offered some reasonable environmental adjustments. Only 23.2% of them confirmed they disclosed their autistic identity when booking MRI scanning. We found that quality of communication, physical environment, patient emotions, staff training, and confounding societal factors impacted their MRI experiences. Autistic individuals rated their overall MRI experience as neutral and reported high levels of claustrophobia (44.8%). Conclusion: This study highlighted a lack of effective communication and coordination of care, either between health care services or between patients and radiographers, and lack of reasonable adjustments as vital for more accessible and person-centered MRI scanning for autistic individuals. Enablers of successful scans included effective communication, adjusted MRI environment, scans tailored to individuals' needs/preferences, and well-trained staff. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an examination that shows human anatomy and may explain the causes of symptoms. Autistic people may need MRI scans for various reasons, such as low back pain, headaches, accidents, or epilepsy. They have known sensitivities to sound, light, smell, or touch and increased anxiety, so the narrow, loud, isolating, unfamiliar MRI environment may be overwhelming to them. If MRI scans are, for these reasons, inaccessible, many autistic people will have to live with long-standing conditions, pain, or other symptoms, or have delayed treatment, with impact on their quality of life, and life expectancy. We tried to understand how autistic people perceive MRI examinations, things that work, and the challenges they face. We also asked for their suggestions to improve practice and accessibility. We distributed an online questionnaire to autistic adults through social media. We analyzed the data using appropriate statistical and text analysis methods. We received 112 responses. Autistic people rated their overall MRI experience as average. Nearly a third (29.6%) reported they were not sent any information before MRI, and only 17.1% reported that radiographers offered some reasonable environmental adjustments. Most participants (68%) reported that radiographers provided detailed information on the day of the scan. Only 23.2% of them disclosed their autistic identity when booking MRIs. We found that quality of communication, physical environment, patient emotions, staff training, stigma, and timely autism diagnosis impacted their MRI experiences. Autistic people MRI scan experiences are at the heart of this project. Our project shows that MRI for common symptoms is often inaccessible by autistic people. We should improve the MRI environment, adjust communication format/content for them, and deliver person-centered care in MRI. Health care professionals should receive relevant training, to understand the challenges autistic people might face and better support them in MRI scanning. The pandemic has impacted participant recruitment; therefore, the results of this sample may not reflect the full impact on the wider autistic population or adequately represent the autistic community, due to small size and including only people who could consent. These results come from different centers, so there is a lot of variation in the use of MRI equipment. We outline the main challenges associated with MRI, so autistic adults and their families/carers understand more of what they could expect in future examinations; hopefully, researchers and scanner manufacturers will try to tackle these challenges to make MRI scans truly accessible for autistic people. We shared this knowledge with stakeholders to develop guidelines and started using it in training. We want to ensure that MRI is person-centered and more accessible for autistic patients." @default.
