PBRCT OF THE HPCSA
4.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
4.7.3 Recommendations for research in radiography
Due to the contextual nature, and sample size, of this study, generalisations may not be possible. It is suggested that further exploration of the experiences of radiographers and medical practitioners should be done in other geographical regions, especially in South Africa. The findings of the proposed future studies should then be compared with the findings of this study in order to provide and even more holistic account of this phenomenon. A study should also be performed outside of the after-hours unit, to gather information regarding the experiences in normal working hours of both radiographers and medical practitioners.
A study should also be done to explore and describe which examinations are prevalent in the after-hours unit in order to make those the foci for inclusion in the curricula of undergraduate programmes, and post-graduate qualifications that could be developed for clinical reporting by radiographers.
Once the recommendations to the PBRCT of the HPCSA have been implemented, the effect of the interventions should also be studied.
108 4.8 CONCLUSION
This chapter provided a summary of the findings of the study, as well as recommendations to the PBRCT of the HPCSA, which correspond to the second objective of this study. The limitations of this study have been acknowledged and described. Literature from various countries, and best practice guidelines and policies, were incorporated to make inferences, and were applied in the South African context.
This study provided a description of the experiences, of both radiographers and medical practitioners, with regards to reporting of trauma related radiographs in the after-hours trauma unit. Evidence was found that radiographers could contribute significantly in the after-hours trauma unit in the light of the universal shortage of radiologists. It was also evident that inter-professional collaboration is beneficial for both professional development of the relevant health professionals, as well as facilitating effective and efficient patient management.
