Abstract

Background: Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Considering the potential risks of radiation, Radiation safety Training courses are important for medical staff. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of one-day Radiation safety Training program in increasing the Radiation safety knowledge of Physicians. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, subjects were 12 Physicians (6 general practitioners and 6 nonradiologist specialists) participated in the Training program organized by Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in 2018. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for surveying Physicians before and after the Training. The mean and standard deviation of the scores were first calculated. Then, the pre-and post-test scores were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the correlation of these scores with their age, gender, expertise area, and work experience was examined by Spearman's correlation test. Findings: The mean total scores of the Physicians before and after Training were 7. 00± 2. 56 (ranged 3-11) and 11. 92± 2. 31 (ranged 8-15) out of 18, respectively. The Radiation safety knowledge of Physicians significantly increased after Training (P<0. 001). No significant relationship was found between their scores and their age, gender, expertise area and work experience. Conclusion: The Radiation safety Training program was effective in increasing the Radiation safety knowledge of Physicians and it can be used for a larger community of Physicians.
