Abstract
This study is to promote awareness to be exposed to radiation with identifying knowledge, attitudes and behavior for radiation safety management of the operating room nurse and dental hygienist. And the following results were obtained through questionnaire survey to deduct the education to prevent potential risks in advance and implication to be useful on education program. First, based on the level of knowledge for radiation safety management, 10.57 for dental hygienists, 9.55 for the nurse out of 15 points (p<0.001); based on the level of attitudes for radiation safety management, 4.64 for dental hygienists, 4.67 for the nurse out of 5 points (p<0.001); and based on the level of behavior for radiation safety management, 3.27 for dental hygienists, 2.93 for the nurse out of 5 points (p<0.001). Second, the result for checking the relation with knowledge, attitudes and behavior for radiation safety management, the knowledge of radiation safety management has correlation with attitudes and behavior for radiation safety management statistically (p<0.001).
