Radiological protection in the perspective of health professionals exposed to radiation

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of health professionals about radiological protection and to implement educational actions to promote a safe working environment for professionals, patients and companions. Method: An exploratory cross-sectional study, applying a questionnaire to 59 participants from different sectors of a teaching hospital. Open-ended questions were analyzed through the discourse of the collective subject and closed-ended questions were analyzed through quantitative analysis. Results: In the opinion of the participants, their professional training did not offer radioprotection class or the training was insufficient for the practice. In addition, the work environment does not provide regulatory norms and training on radioprotection. Most participants do not have solid knowledge and do not present safe behavior in radioprotection. In the internal week for the prevention of work accidents, a lecture and a theatricalisation about the topic of radioprotection were conducted and a booklet was distributed. Conclusion: Radiation protection education is necessary in the curricula of the training courses for health professionals and in the work environment.

【摘要】
研究目的：评估医疗卫生专业人员的放射防护（radiological protection）知识水平，并开展教育行动，以营造面向专业人员、患者及陪护人员的安全工作环境。
研究方法：本研究为探索性横断面研究（cross-sectional study），向某教学医院（teaching hospital）不同科室的59名参与者发放调查问卷。开放式问题采用集体主体话语分析法进行分析，封闭式问题则通过定量分析法开展统计分析。
研究结果：参与者普遍认为，其在校专业培训未开设放射防护课程，或相关培训内容无法满足临床实践需求；此外，所在工作场所未提供放射防护相关的规范文件与专项培训。多数参与者未掌握扎实的放射防护知识，亦未采取合规的放射防护行为。在工作事故预防内部宣传周期间，主办方开展了放射防护主题讲座与情景戏剧展演，并发放了相关宣传手册。
研究结论：放射防护教育需纳入医疗卫生专业人员的培养课程体系，并在工作环境中持续开展。
