“…Unlike some studies [6], [9], [18], [19] we observed no influence of professional category or years of practice on any of calculated scores (table 3), especially on RPKS, which is the main object of our study. As residents and interns are numerous in our study population (50%), one might think that they were at the origin of this low level of knowledge, because of their limited professional experience, but they had no statistically significant difference with their elders (p = 0.45) (table 3).…”

“…Many studies carried out among medical workers about knowledge of IR and its uses, have aimed at a single category of workers or have been mainly interested in the RP concerning patients and how to inform them and advise them about IR exposition risks [6]- [8]. Most of these studies focused on one kind of radiation, usually X-rays, and were limited to a specific department [9] [10] [6] [7]. In the present study, worker radiation protection was targeted, and all UHCC medical and paramedical staff who daily use IR were surveyed.…”

Hospital activity of professionals who use ionizing radiation (IR) at work generates risks on their health. Good knowledge of radiation protection (RP) rules can contribute to minimize these risks. This descriptive and analytical study, carried out from March 25 to May 14, 2019 as a survey, focused on knowledge about IR and RP. It was intended for medical and paramedical staff from several departments of Ibn Rochd UHC in Casablanca. Among 135 surveyed workers, 83% with median age of 31 years (21 to 54 years) participated. 65.17% of participants were physicians whose 76% were in training. 47% of respondents had a high global level of knowledge, with mean score of 6.6/10. IR average score (7.8/10) were better than RP average score (6.23/10). The scores varied significantly according to RP education (p<0.002) and home department (p<0.002). RP score was more strongly correlated to RP education (η2=0.32) than to department membership (η2=0.14). Medical staff RP knowledge are insufficient. In order to improve workers’ knowledge on RP, and thereby protect their health, it would be desirable to set up systematic pre-hire training and continuing education programs as well as integrate a radiation safety officer into all departments operating under IR.

Radiation protection in the operating room: Need for training, qualification and accompaniment for the professionals

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of this work was to evaluate the knowledge of the professionals working in the operating room about the risks associated to exposure to X-rays, and the radiation protection practices. To meet this objective, we conducted a multicenter study in three Moroccan hospitals. Data collection was carried out with a self-administered questionnaire to the professionals. The results showed that more than a third of the participants ignore the ionizing nature of X-rays; and that the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation are related to cumulative dose. 3% of the participants were aware about the effective dose limit of ionizing radiation for workers for a year and the annual dose limits to the extremities or to the skin. 45.50% of participants had no knowledge about the most irradiating technique when using the amplifier; 58.21% felt that continuous fluoroscopy mode was the most irradiating. All of the participants declared the absence of a radiation protection referent, and did not use any written procedures guide for the most common radiological examinations in interventional imaging. Multidisciplinary cooperation, at least, between radiology staff and operating room staff appears imperative, and seems to strengthen the system of vigilance and protection against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
