Knowledge,attitude,and behavior of radiological health protection and associated influencing factors among radiological workers in Jiading district of Shanghai
[Background]In recent years,radiation diagnosis and treatment technology has been increasingly applied and popularized in the medical field,and the status of radiation health protection has at-tracted widespread attention.[Objective]To understand the knowledge,attitude,and behavior of radiological health protection in radiation workers in Jiading District of Shanghai.[Methods]Convenience sampling method was used to select 441 radiation workers from 33 medical institutions in Jiading District,Shanghai to conduct a questionnaire survey from May to August 2023.Basic information and radiation protection associated knowledge,attitude,and be-havior were collected from the study participants,and the scores of knowledge,attitude,and behavior were calculated.Factors affecting the behavior were evaluated by multiple linear re-gression.[Results]A total of 441 subjects were included in this study,with an age range of 22-71 years,53.06%male and 46.94%female.In terms of knowledge,the correct response rate of the study subjects to the seven questions on the basics of radiation protection ranged from 44.22%-96.60%,with the lowest rate of 44.22%for the question on"radiation stochastic effect diseases".The subjects acquired knowledge about radiation hygiene mainly through vocational training(98.41%),and wanted to acquire knowledge mainly about the basics of nuclear and radiation(76.42%).In terms of attitude,the recognition level(strongly agree/agree)of the study subjects on the six attitude questions ranged from 73.47%to 96.37%,in which only 56.92%of the radiological staff at tertiary hospitals believed that the radiation dose they were exposed to at work would be hazardous to their health,and 73.85%believed that it was necessary to participate in training on knowledge of radiological protection,both lower than those in other levels of hospitals.In terms of behavior,the implementation rate(always/often)of the five behavioral questions by the study participants ranged from 75.28%to 91.84%,and there was a statistically sig-nificant difference in the total behavioral scores of the study participants by levels of hospitals(P=0.015).The results of multiple linear regression showed that gender,age,and radiation work permit associated with the behavioral scores of the study subjects.[Conclusion]In Jiading District,Shanghai,the coginitive rate of radiation workers'basic knowledge of theoretical protection still needs to be improved,and occupational training should be carried out in a targeted manner;the attitude of radiation workers varies by levels of hospitals,and the publicity and education of workers at tertiary hospitals in particular should be strengthened;and the supervision and management of male,senior,and non-certified radiation workers in hospitals of different levels should be enhanced.
