Abstract

In this study, it was an investigation of the degree of awareness and consciousness of the radiology technicians about radiation protection working in the computed tomography room in Busan when the pediatric underwent brain CT scan. It was sorted by university hospital, general hospital and hospital and compared the scores of awareness and consciousness. As a result of awareness, university hospital had the highest point of 42.29 followed by general hospital and hospital of 38.43 and 34.06 respectively. On the other hand, the average score of consciousness was the highest in hospital of 29.19 followed by general hospital and university hospital of 24.68 and 21.37 respectively. It is considered to need assistance to cultivate an awareness of the radiation through refresher training and conferences, etc in order to increase the awareness of the general hospitals and hospitals for CT workers. In addition, it is also expected to pay for efforts to increase the consciousness of CT workers in university hospitals seeking the optimization of radiation protection and dose reduction of radiation exposure for the pediatric.

본 연구에서는 부산지역의 컴퓨터단층촬영검사실의 근무자를 대상으로 소아 두부 CT 검사를 시행함에 있어 방사선방어에 대한 지식정도와 행위에 대한 인식도 및 의식도를 설문조사하여 기관별로 분류하여 상급종합병원, 종합병원, 병원간의 인식도와 의식도 점수를 비교하여 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 기관별 인식도 평균점수는 상급종합병원이 42.29, 종합병원 38.43, 병원 34.06으로 상급종합병원이 가장 높게 나타났으며 종합병원, 병원 순으로 나타났다. 기관별 의식도 평균점수는 상급종합병원이 21.37, 종합병원 24.68, 병원 29.19로 병원이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며 종합병원, 상급종합병원 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 종합병원이나 병원의 CT 근무자들의 인식도를 높이기 위해서는 보수교육 및 학회 등을 통해 방사선에 대한 인식을 함양시키려는 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료되며 또한 상급종합병원의 CT 근무자들의 의식도를 높이기 위해서 방사선 방어의 최적화를 모색하고 환자에 대한 방사선 피폭선량 감소에 대해 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 판단된다.
