Abstract

This research, which was conducted for dental hygienists, intended to check out what factors have an influence on their practices by knowledge and attitude on radiation safety management (RSM). This study performed a survey on such an issue from July 2 to August 30, 2012 for 220 dental hygienists who worked in Busan, Gyeongnam areas. The data was analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 program. The results were as follows: As a result of the knowledge according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation and wearing apron. As for the attitude according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation and wearing apron. As to the practice according to the general characteristics and RSM, a statistically meaningful difference was found according to the education on radiation, wearing thermo luminescent dosimeter and wearing apron. When the analysis of safety management practice for radiation was conducted with the independent variables such as knowledge, altitude and health concerns about radiography, it turned out that the factors having an effect on the practice were altitude and health concerns by that order.

본 연구는 2012년 7월 2일부터 2012년 8월 30일까지 현재 부산 경남지역에 근무하고 있는 치과위생사 220명을 설문 조사하였다. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 현주소를 파악하고, 방사선 안전관리 실천에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 올바른 방사선 안전관리 지식을 제공하고자 한다. 나아가 방사선 안전관리 태도와 습관화가 이루어질 수 있는 프로그램의 개발에 기초자료에 활용하고자 한다. 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 교육(p<0.01), 방어도구 착용(p<0.01) 여부는 긍정적인 응답을 한 자가 부정적인 응답을 한 자보다 조사대상자와 안전관리 특성에 따른 방사선안전관리에 대한 지식 정도가 높게 나타나 유의한 결과가 나타났다. 2. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 교육(p<0.001), 방어도구 착용(p<0.01) 여부는 긍정적인 응답을 한 자가 부정적인 응답을 한 자보다 조사대상자와 안전관리 특성에 따른 방사선안전관리에 대한 태도 정도가 높게 나타나 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 교육(p<0.001), TLD 착용(p<0.01), 방어도구 착용 여부(p<0.001)는 긍정적인 응답을 한 자가 부정적인 응답을 한 자보다 조사대상자와 안전관리 특성에 따른 방사선 안전관리에 대한 실천 정도가 높게 나타나 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 교육의 유무는 긍정적인 응답을 한 자가 부정적인 응답을 한 자보다 조사대상자와 안전관리 특성에 따른 방사선 촬영 시 건강염려 정도가 높게 나타나 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 5. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 지식은 태도(r=0.252, p<0.01), 실천(r=0.200, p<0.01)과 정적 상관을 가지고 있었으며, 방사선 안전관리에 대한 태도는 실천(r=0.446, p<0.01), 촬영 시 건강염려(r=0.181, p<0.01)와 정적 상관을 가지고 있었다. 방사선 안전관리에 대한 실천은 촬영 시 건강염려와 정적 상관(r=0.280, p<0.01)을 가지고 있었다. 6. 방사선 안전관리실천을 종속변수로 하고 지식, 태도, 촬영 시 건강염려를 독립변수로 하여 분석한 결과 방사선안전관리실천에 영향을 주는 요인은 태도, 촬영 시 건강염려 순으로 나타났다(p<0.05).
