Abstract

The purpose of this study was to perform an actual proof analysis on the structural effects of recognition of radiation risks on management and benefits. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires targeting students having majors related to radiation from 1 April to 31 May in 2013 of one four-year-course university located in Chungbuk, Korea. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that as recognition of radiation risks is higher, recognition of radiation management is higher, which has a significant effect on benefits. It was indicated that although recognition of radiation risks does not directly influence radiation benefits, positive recognition on radiation benefits could increase through the parameter, radiation management. In order to improve smooth use of radiation and increase benefits, education that emphasizes the need of proper radiation management should be performed.

본 연구는 방사선의 위험 인식이 방사선 관리와 편익에 미치는 구조적 관계를 실증적으로 분석하고자 수행되었다. 충북소재 1개 4년제 대학의 방사선 관련 대학생들을 대상으로 2013년 4월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 자기기입식 설문조사를 통하여 직접 자료를 수집하였다. 분석결과 방사선 위험 인식이 높을수록 방선선 관리에 대한 인식이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 편익에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 방사선 위험 인식이 방사선 편익에 직접적인 영향을 미치지는 못하였으나 방사선 관리라는 매개변수를 통해 방사선의 편익에 대한 긍정적 인식이 높아짐을 시사한다. 따라서 방사선의 원활한 활용과 편익을 높이기 위해서는 적절한 방사선 관리의 필요성을 강조하는 교육이 실행되어야 할 것이다.
