The study aimed to measure the levels of radiation protection for radiologists in medical institutions in three environmental categories (physical, administrative and social) and to establish a data base which can be used to increase awareness of environmental radiation protection in medical institutions within Korea. The study surveyed 10% of radiologists working in radiology departments in medical institutions which are supervised by the National Dose Registry overseen by the Korean Food and Drug Administration(KFDA). This study found that the level of environmental radiation protection was higher in the capital area and in larger hospitals. On the other hand, the study shows environmental radiation protection was lower in the Youngnam area and in clinics. Results from the questionnaires indicate the level of environmental radiation protection was higher when radiologists were given an individual dosimeter but lowest when the radiation protection apron quality test was conducted. Environmental radiation protection is an important factor for radiologists to conduct activities in a safe and protected environment. However, this study shows there are differences in the level of environmental radiation protection in medical institutions and location within Korea. In particular, the level of environmental radiation protection was lower in clinics, appropriate intervention strategies befitting these conditions are needed based on medical institution classification and location in order to improve the level of environmental protection.

The purpose of this research is to understand users' information protection behavior on personal information security from health psychology theory perspectives. Empirical results indicate that users' information protection behavior on personal information is predicted by perceived threat and perceived responsiveness. Perceived threat is determined by perceived susceptibility and perceived severity. Perceived responsiveness is determined by response efficacy and self-efficacy, but response cost is not significant. These findings provide an enriched understanding about users' information protection behavior on personal information security.

Objectives : This study was performed to enhance infection control and to establish the fundamental and practical improvement by the survey on personal protection of dental personnels with health science college students. Methods : We performed the survey with 585 individual students affiliated with health science in Jeonbuk province and statistically analyzed by SPSS 12.0 program. Results : The frequencies of the clinic gown as a personal protection were 96.0% of dentists (p<0.01) and 88.0% of dental hygienists (p<0.05) respectively in college-associated dental hospital when we compared with institution scale. The frequencies of the medical gloves as a compulsory personal protection were 47.2% of dentists and 34.6% of dental hygienists respectively (p<0.001). The frequencies of the medical mask as a compulsory personal protection were 84.0% of dentists (p<0.001) and 52.2% of dental hygienists (p<0.05) respectively shown by freshman students. The frequencies of the safety glasses as a compulsory personal protection were 12.3% of dentists and 2.5% of dental hygienists shown by freshman students (p<0.001). Conclusions : The results reflect that current dental personnel's concern of personal protection need to be increased continuously in accordance with current demands and eventually suggest their effort to put their action on personal protection in their dental office.

본 연구는 신종플루 관련 뉴스 이용 정도가 개인 및 공중에 대한 건강보호 행위의도에 미치는 영향을 보호동기이론(protection motivation theory)을 통해 살펴보았다. 구체적으로 신종플루 뉴스 이용 정도를 독립변인으로, 심리적 보호동기요인(신종플루에 대한 인지된 심각성, 취약성, 대처효능감, 자기효능감)을 매개변인으로 그리고 개인과 공중에 대한 건강보호 행위의도를 종속변인으로 설정하였다. 대학생 460명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 각 구성요인 간의 인과관계를 연구모형으로 설정하고 구조방정식모델(SEM)로 분석하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 첫째 '개인 건강보호 행위의도' 연구모형에서 신종플루 뉴스 이용 정도는 신종플루 관련 보호동기 요인들에 유의미한 인과관계를 나타냈으나 '대처효능감'은 제외되었다. 또한 세 가지 보호동기 요인(지각된 심각성, 지각된 취약성, 자기효능감)들은 개인 건강보호 행위의도에 유의미한 정적 인과관계를 나타냈다. 둘째 '공중 건강보호 행위의도' 연구모형에서 신종플루 뉴스 이용 정도는 '대처효능감'을 제외한 모든 보호동기 요인에 유의미한 관계를 나타냈으며 보호동기 요인들 중에 '인지된 취약성'과 '대처효능감'만이 공중 건강보호 행위의도에 유의미한 정적 인과관계를 나타냈다. 두 연구모형의 공통점으로는 신종플루 뉴스이용 정도가 개인 또는 공중 건강보호 행위의도에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 특정 질병에 대한 건강보호 행위의도에 있어서 건강보호 대상(자신 혹은 타인)이 누구인가에 따라 심리적 보호동기들은 다르게 작동하는 것으로 추정된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the knowledge of radiation protection and the recognition and performance of radiation protection behaviors among perioperative nurses. This study was intended to yield basic data for the development of nursing interventions aimed at improving the nurses' radiation protection behaviors. Methods: One hundred and thirty-seven nurses working in the operating room participated in a survey from September 1 to 30, 2011. The data was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation with the SPSS/WIN 19.0 program. Results: The average score of radiation protection knowledge was $7.57{\pm}3.45$ out of 16. The average score for the recognition and performance of radiation protection behaviors was $4.32{\pm}0.23$. The knowledge of radiation protection was significantly correlated with the recognition and performance of radiation protection behaviors. Conclusion: Expanding the knowledge of radiation protection could lead to the increase of the recognition and performance of radiation protection behaviors. Therefore, promoting the performance of radiation protection behaviors by improving perioperative nurses' knowledge of radiation protection through reinforcing radiation-related education hereafter could be an important part of nursing.

In Japan, protective measures to reduce falls from scaffolds have been strictly applied within industry safety guidelines, and such measures have significantly decreased fatal accidents due to falls from scaffolds. However, the rate of fatal accidents from falls is still high in the construction industries. In order to examine further countermeasures to reduce such falls, the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare established a committee in our institute. That committee$\acute{i}$s work experimentally confirmed the effectiveness of using plastic sheets as a covering around scaffolds to protect against falls of construction materials (a method widely used in Japan). However, the workers fell from the space between the work platform and the plastic sheets very occasionally. Based on those results, the plastic sheets were improved for fall protection from the space, and the effect of the improved sheets was confirmed experimentally.

International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent international organization that advances the science of radiological protection for the public benefit, particularly by providing recommendations and guidance on all aspects of protection against ionizing radiation. The ICRP is a community of more than 380 globally-recognized experts in radiological protection science, policy, and practice from more than 50 countries. As of January 2024, the ICRP is comprised of a Main Commission, the Scientific Secretariat, four Standing Committees, and 30 Task Groups under the four committees. The ICRP has released well over one hundred publications on all aspects of radiological protection. Most address a particular area within radiological protection, but a handful of the publications, the so-called fundamental recommendations, describe the overall system of radiological protection. The system for radiological protection is based on the current understanding of the science of radiation exposure and its effects along with value judgements. The ICRP offers recommendations to regulatory and advisory agencies and provides advice to management and professional staff with responsibilities for radiological protection. Legislation in most countries adheres closely to ICRP recommendations. The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) International Basic Safety Standards are based heavily on ICRP recommendations. ICRP recommendations form the core of radiological protection standards, legislation, programs, and practice worldwide.
