BACKGROUND: Radiographer reporting, as a response to the universal shortage of radiologists, is an established practice in several countries across the globe. Effective patient management and improved service delivery have resulted since the implementation of radiographer reporting; however, this practice has not yet materialised in the Republic of South Africa.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of radiographers and medical practitioners regarding the reporting of trauma-related radiographic images in after-hours trauma units.
METHODOLOGY: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and contextual method of inquiry was used. Semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of 10 participants working in two different public sector hospitals in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. Data were analysed using Tesch's eight steps of coding for thematic synthesis.
RESULTS: Three main themes surfaced after data analysis. The themes related to challenges and constraints radiographers and medical practitioners experienced and suggestions as to how radiographers' skills can be optimised regarding the reporting of trauma-related radiographic images.
CONCLUSION: The elicited experiences of radiographers and medical practitioners are described in relation to the reporting of trauma-related radiographic images in after-hours trauma units, including the rationale for the ad hoc collaboration among these health care professionals. Radiographers can make a significant contribution to more holistic health care and positive patient outcomes by reporting on radiographic images in after-hours trauma units; therefore, it is suggested that the regulatory regulations of the professional body be adjusted.
