“…As presented in our study, there is a significant positive correlation between knowledge score and practice score (P<0.0001. These findings go in agreement with Jeong and Jang, (2015) that stated that knowledge of radiation protection showed a statistically significant positive correlation with performance of radiation protection behavior (r=.229, p<.01) [17] . As shown in this study, the linear regression analysis shows that age, gender and specialty of participants are significant predictors of knowledge while age and working load of participants are significant predictors of practice.…”

Best medical practices needs health care workers to have an awareness of the possible threats from radiological imaging practices to allow for effective risk/benefit assessments and assurance that ionizing radiation is used skillfully. The aim of this study was to describe the knowledge and practices of health care workers regarding ionizing radiation safety and exposure. A cross sectional study was conducted at four hospitals in Ismailia city, and all health care workers (292) with potential exposure to radiation at the different hospital departments/units were included in the study. A structured selfadministered questionnaire was used. The mean scores of correct answers regarding knowledge and practice were as low as 20.6±5.7 and 3.6±4.1 respectively. There is a significant positive correlation between knowledge score and practice score (P<0.0001). The linear regression analysis showed that age, gender and specialty of participants are significant predictors of knowledge while age and working load of participants are predictors of practice. The majority of healthcare workers in this study lacked any specific training or education about radiation protection. We concluded that radiation safety knowledge and practice of participants were poor.

“…Studies on radiation protection have involved investigation of protection-related knowledge, awareness, and behavior in radiology workers at medical institutions [1]; radiation protection awareness surveys of diagnostic radiologists [2]; radiation protectionrelated knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in dental workers [6]; and radiation protection behavior-related awareness and performance in OR nurses [7,8]. However, there are few such studies.…”

Radiation protection is among the important issues in the wards exposed to radiation. Considering the daily increasing use of radiation in operating rooms and the existing problems in the field of radiation protection, the present study aimed to evaluate the clinical capability of operating room nurses and surgeons regarding radiation protection protocols in radiation-exposed operating rooms in Shiraz. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted through census on radiation-exposed nurses and surgeons in operating rooms of private and public hospitals in Shiraz in 2019-2020. The study data were collected using a demographic and professional information form and a questionnaire on radiation protection capability of operating room personnel. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS 25 software and were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Totally, 200 questionnaires were completely filled out. The mean age of the participants with complete questionnaires was 33.34+8.09 years. The mean scores of clinical capability, knowledge, attitude, performance, and personal commitment were 111.7+21.09, 39.05+12.76, 44.25+7.16, 14.61+6.23, and 13.98+5.77, respectively. Accordingly, the participants’ knowledge, attitude, personal commitment, and clinical capability were at good levels, while they showed a weak performance. Conclusion: It seems that educational as well as managerial measures in terms of radiation protection protocols are needed to increase the clinical capability of radiation-exposed operating room nurses and surgeons. The present study results can be used to improve clinical capability regarding radiation protection, provide related strategies, and solve problems.
