Development and psychometric evaluation of the fear of medical imaging radiation scale (FOMIRS): insights from multimethod analysis

Evaluating individuals' FOMIR improves compliance with imaging exams and reduces related cognitive biases. FOMIRS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring FOMIR levels, capturing psychological and behavioral traits, and revealing interactions with external features. FOMIR is a complex phenomenon involving psychological traits, behavioral tendencies, and cognitive biases that affect people's willingness to undergo cancer screening.

Abstract

Evaluating individuals' FOMIR improves compliance with imaging exams and reduces related cognitive biases. FOMIRS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring FOMIR levels, capturing psychological and behavioral traits, and revealing interactions with external features. FOMIR is a complex phenomenon involving psychological traits, behavioral tendencies, and cognitive biases that affect people's willingness to undergo cancer screening.
