Preventive measures for labor protection in the field of radiation medicine

Abstract

Labor productivity depends on various factors, including appropriate working conditions. Work in the field of radiation medicine can have both harmful working conditions associated with equipment, drugs that must be used in the work, and psychological factors associated with the need to communicate with patients with complex diagnoses, psychological fatigue, which can become chronic if preventive measures are not taken in time. Statistical data from the official websites of the State Labor Service of Ukraine and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine were used in the work, students were interviewed using the Google survey form. Methods of rational criticism, dialectical, comparative-legal and formal-legal methods are used. It has been established that the inclusion of a special course on labor protection in educational programs will be an urgent preventive measure. To reduce the risk of burnout, it is necessary to conduct training, it is also necessary to conduct surveys of medical practitioners to identify problematic factors that need to be addressed. To improve the culture of a healthy lifestyle, to protect workers in the field of radiation medicine from the effects of hazardous production factors, it is necessary to strengthen preventive measures to prevent accidents at work and occupational diseases, as well as other exposure to hazardous production factors. To do this, it is proposed to improve two areas of preventive work. The first is to strengthen information work among students who obtain the profession of a medical worker in the field of radiation medicine, by introducing a special course on labor protection. Thus, the special course should be developed under features of work in the field of radiation medicine. In order to provide effective information, narrow specialists should be involved in lecturing. The second is to conduct simulation and psychological trainings for medical practitioners. The Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine should be involved in financing preventive measures. It is also advisable for the Foundation to submit its proposals to the methodological developments of new preventive measures.
