Abstract: This qualitative study explores the experiences of laboratory technicians in adapting to new diagnostic technologies in a tertiary hospital. Through in-depth interviews with 15 participants, four key themes emerged: learning and training, challenges in implementation, impact on workflow and efficiency, and professional growth and job satisfaction. Participants reported initial difficulties, such as technical challenges and resistance to change, but highlighted the long-term benefits of improved accuracy, efficiency, and personal development. The study underscores the need for better institutional support during the transition phase and ongoing professional development opportunities to maximize the benefits of new diagnostic technologies.
Keywords: laboratory technicians, diagnostic technologies, implementation, professional development, job satisfaction, workflow efficiency, qualitative study
