Aims: To examine patients' perceptions of care quality following a same-day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and understand the extent to which they were prepared for discharge.
Design: Single-centre, mixed-methods study.
Methods: Postdischarge, online survey of patients who underwent a same-day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (n = 150) and one-on-one interviews with 13 of these patients.
Purpose: The study sought to identify and characterise barriers to research for Canadian diagnostic radiology residents and suggest potential solutions to enhance future research success.
Methods: Institutional research board approval was obtained. Electronic surveys were solicited from all postgraduate year 2-5 diagnostic radiology residents at all 16 programs across Canada.
