Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, attitude and educational needs of radiation protection among nursing students and nurses, because it is needed to raise awareness of the importance of radiation protection. The participants in this study were 274 including 135 registered nurses on bachelor's degree course who had experience of the operating room practice and 139 nursing students. The questionnaire consisted of 45 items including knowledge, attitude, and educational needs of radiation protection. The findings of the study suggest that safe management education was insufficient for protection of radiation. Though, educational needs and intention of involvement were high, the respondents who were more knowledgeable about radiation protection took a better attitude of radiation protection. A radiation protection course development is needed according to educational needs. Nurses have to get a chance to receive education outside the hospital or be provided with a radiation protection program as internal education. Also, radiation educational experts and various visual and auditory materials are needed to promote effectiveness of education.

본 연구는 간호학생과 간호사를 대상으로 방사선 방어에 대한 지식, 태도와 교육 요구를 조사하여 방사선 방어에 대한 중요성을 인지하도록 하고, 나아가 방사선 방어를 위한 안전관리의 효과적인 교육 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. B광역시에 소재한 일 대학의 3, 4학년 간호학생(n=139)과 간호사(n=135) 총 274명을 대상으로 45문항의 설문지로 방사선 방어에 대한 지식, 태도, 교육 요구를 조사하였다. 그 결과 방사선 방어를 위한 안전관리 교육이 미흡한 실정이고, 이에 비해 교육요구와 참여의사는 매우 높으며, 방사선 방어에 대한 지식이 높을수록 방사선 방어에 대한 태도 또한 높아진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 대상자의 교육 요구를 반영한 교육과정 개발이 매우 필요하며, 간호사의 외부교육 또는 병원 자체교육에서도 방사선 방어에 대한 프로그램의 운영이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 교육 효과를 높이기 위하여 전문가를 통한 강연과 시청각 자료를 활용한 교육이 요구된다.
