Abstract

This study investigates the perception of radiation safety management in radiation generator manufacturing workers and medical institutions. The basic data obtained is further applied to improve active coping ability and safety levels. The knowledge and attitude practice score of radiation was found to be related to gender, age, marital status, occupation, position, current work period, total work period, radiation related work period, the manual available, defense facility maintenance, number of defense equipment, radiation safety education, special health examination, and recognition of radiation terms. In particular, the knowledge score of radiologists was highest among the radiation-related occupations (<0.05). Radiation safety management requires active defense endeavors to prevent radiation exposure, by both workers of radiation manufacturers and medical institutions. Moreover, institutional devices such as compliance with guidelines, periodic education, facility reinforcement, manual preparation, and special health checkups are required for efficient radiation safety management.

이 연구는 방사선 발생장치 제조업체 종사자와 의료기관 종사자들 간의 방사선안전관리에 대한 인식을 알아보고 적극적인 대처능력과 안전수준을 향상시키는데 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 연구조사하게 되었다. 방사선에 대한 지식, 태도 실천 점수는 성별, 연령, 결혼상태, 직종, 직위, 현 직장근무기간, 직장 총 근무기간, 방사선 관련 유사업무 유무, 매뉴얼 비치 여부, 방어 시설유지 여부, 방어 장비보유 수, 방사선 안전교육 여부, 특수건강검진 여부, 방사선 용어인지 여부와 관련이 있었으며, 특히 방사선 관련 직종에서 방사선사의 지식 점수가 가장 높았다(p<0.05). 방사선 안전관리는 방사선제조업체 종사자 및 의료기관 종사자 모두 방사선 노출에 적극적인 방어 노력이 필요하며방사선 안전관리를 위해서는 지침 준수, 주기적인 교육, 시설보강, 매뉴얼 작성, 특수 건강검진 등 제도적 장치가 필요하다.
