Patient Anxiety During Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Sponsor: European Institute of Oncology

Summary

This study is a cross-sectional validation project that aims to translate the MRI-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ) into Italian and adapt it culturally for cancer patients undergoing whole-body MRI. The protocol will recruit 175 adult patients at the European Institute of Oncology, use a forward-backward translation process, and evaluate the Italian version with the MRI-AQ itself plus the MRI Fear Survey Schedule (MRI-FSS). The main statistical goal is to show that the Italian version is not inferior to the original in terms of internal consistency. The ultimate purpose is to provide a specific, validated tool for measuring MRI-related anxiety in Italian oncology patients.
