This study aims to understand factors that may influence the implementation of a wrist-specific radiographic positioning device in healthcare settings across the United States and Canada. The survey will ask questions about workplace communication, leadership, availability of resources and attitude towards implementing new devices in radiographic imaging. Participants will be MRTs/Radiologic Technologists and they will complete an online questionnaire about current workplace practices and opinions regarding implementation of a new wrist positioning aid. Responses will help identify any potential barriers and facilitators regarding implementation across different healthcare environments.
The study research questions are examining implementation determinants such as communication and attitude towards adopting new radiographic technologies. It will examine perceived barriers and facilitators to implementing a new device and consider technologists' willingness to use this type of device in their day-to-day practice. This study will involve the recruitment of medical radiation technologists (MRTs) employed at a healthcare centre in North America (Canada or the United States). MRT Participants will be asked to complete a survey that is designed to evaluate the perceived barriers and facilitators that may affect the implementation of a radiographic positioning device. General information including MRT experience and healthcare centre size and location will be collected along with questions derived from implementation constructs in the Consolidated Framework of Implementation Science. The questionnaire primarily collects quantitative responses with some opportunity for short answers to support responses with quantitative usability data. The results of this survey can provide insight into the ability to implement a radiographic positioning aid within different healthcare centres across North America. Understanding the different barriers and facilitators that may exist and their relationship with healthcare centre size or geographical location can inform the implementation plan of a novel positioning aid.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) or other health professionals responsible for performing x-rays based in North America.
Other: Survey using a questionnaire.
Questionnaire regarding barriers and facilitators of the implementation of a radiographic positioning device.
Implementation Outcomes
Implementation determinants from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) will be graded on a questionnaire as being a barrier (0), neutral (1), or a facilitator (2).
Time frame: Participants can complete the survey at any time. The survey will close after 500 participants complete the survey. It is estimated this will take 1 year. The determinants will be measured at the completion of the survey.
No study locations are listed for this record.
Plan to share: No — Participants will remain anonymous with their data visible to the study team only.
No publications or documents are linked to this record.
Start is estimated for Aug 2026; primary completion for Sep 2027, 13 months later.
Of 20 observational studies under Wrist Fractures, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 63. This study's planned 13 months is below that.
