For this purpose, this study will examine the level of knowledge about the effects of radiation on pregnant women among the students of Medical Imaging Techniques at the Vocational School of Health Services of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in the province of Çanakkale and compare the level of knowledge about the effects of radiation on pregnant women between the 1st grade students who have just started school and the 2nd grade students who are more experienced both theoretically and practically compared to the 1st grade students. The knowledge level of the students who do practice/internship/skill training in diagnostic radiology units of hospitals from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Vocational School of Health Services, which provides Medical Imaging and Radiology education in Çanakkale, will be determined by applying a 24-question survey. When the answers given to the question "Do you know the time period when the fetus is most sensitive to radiation?" were analyzed, it was reported that 67.8% of the 2nd grade students knew it compared to 50.8% of the 1st grade students (p=0.04). When the answers to the question "Do you know the threshold radiation doses for pregnancy termination?" were analyzed; 52.5% of the 1st grade students did not know the threshold radiation dose for pregnancy termination, whereas only 40.7% of the 2nd grade students did not (p=0.02). Although 2nd year Medical Imaging Techniques students have more knowledge about the pregnancy-related effects of radiation than 1st year students in terms of both theory and practice, there is still room for improvement.

PurposeThis study aimed to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of dentists' radiation protection knowledge, attitudes, and practices (DRP‐KAPs) questionnaire.MethodsThis study was conducted using a stepwise approach. In the first step, items were generated to determine the relevant content and domains after a thorough literature review. In the second step, the content validity of the questionnaire was assessed by seven experts using face and content validity. The content validity index for relevance and clarity (I‐CVI, S‐CVI/Av, and S‐CVI/UA) and the content validity ratio (CVR) were performed. Then, the questionnaire was pre‐tested with 10 dentists for face validation. In the third step, reliability was assessed using internal consistency (Kuder‐Richardson‐20 (KR‐20) and Cronbach's alpha) and test–retest (Kappa and intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]) methods by filling out the questionnaire by 100 dentists practicing in the Rabat‐Salé‐Kénitra region, in Morocco.ResultsThe finalized DRP‐KAPs questionnaire contains 41 items covering knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs). The I‐CVIs, S‐CVI/UA and S‐CVI/AV and CVR values of the 41 items were ≥0.86 for each item, ≥0.82, ≥0.97, and ≥0.71, respectively. With regard to internal consistency reliability, the KR‐20 coefficients for the knowledge and practice domains were 0.70 and 0.68, respectively, and the Cronbach alpha for the attitude domain was 0.73. The DRP‐KAPs questionnaire has good reliability with the ICC coefficients for attitude items ranging from 0.57 to 0.95 and Kappa coefficients for knowledge and practice items ranging from 0.64 to 1 and 0.77 to 1, respectively.ConclusionThe developed DRP‐KAPs questionnaire was found to be a noteworthy tool for assessing radiation protection among dentists, with acceptable internal consistency, good ICC and Kappa coefficients, and good content validity indices.
