Abstract

This study was an experimental study conducted to verify the effect of a safety education program on the safety knowledge of medical-related infections, radiation safety knowledge, and attitudes toward safety behavior among radiological technology students. This study targeted 40 radiological technology students who were about to enter clinical training who understood the purpose of the study and voluntarily participated. The safety education program was conducted over a total of three sessions, and the results were collected through two self-report questionnaires at the beginning and end. SPSS/WIN 21.0 was used for the collected data, and as a result of the study, the safety education program was related to medical-related infection safety knowledge (t=-2.15, p<.001), radiation safety knowledge (t=1.68, p=.001), and safety. The effect was verified by showing a statistically significant difference in attitude toward behavior (t=22.54, p<.001). As a result, the safety education program is effective in improving students' safety knowledge about medical-related infections, radiation safety knowledge, and attitudes toward safe behavior. If the safety education program is expanded and implemented in the future, various safety accidents can be prevented and safe clinical practice can be achieved.

본 연구는 안전교육프로그램이 방사선과 학생의 의료관련감염 안전지식, 방사선 안전지식, 안전행동에 대한 태도에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 수행된 실험연구이다. 본 연구는 임상실습을 앞두고 있는 방사선과 학생 중 연구의 목적을 이해하고 자발적으로 참여한 40명을 대상으로 하였다. 안전교육프로그램은 총 3회기에 걸쳐 진행되었으며 시작과 종료 후에 2회의 자가보고식 설문지를 통하여 결과를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 21.0을 사용하였으며 연구결과, 안전교육프로그램은 의료관련감염 안전지식(t=-2.15, p<.001), 방사선 안전지식(t=1.68, p=.001), 안전행동에 대한 태도(t=22.54, p<.001)에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보임으로 효과가 검증되었다. 결과적으로 안전교육프로그램은 학생들의 의료관련감염 안전지식, 방사선 안전지식, 안전행동에 대한 태도를 증진시키는데 효과적임으로 향후에 안전교육프로그램을 확대하여 실시한다면 다양한 안전사고의 예방이 가능하여 안전한 임상실습이 될 것으로 기대된다.
