Abstract
This study implemented the survey and analysis of the exposure to radiation by using the questionnaire targeting H Health College, located in Daejeon from September 1st, 2014 to October 15th. A total of 400 copies of the questionnaire was distributed and among them, 385 copies, excluding 15 omitted ones (total collection ratio: 96.3%), were used for the analysis. The analysis results are as follows. For the harmfulness of radiation for diagnosis, the average of the health-related was 3.15 and the average of the health-unrelated was 2.82, which the health-related students recognized the harmfulness of radiation for diagnosis higher (p<.001). The necessity of radiation for diagnosis was appeared higher from the health-related students as the average of the health-related was 3.07 and 2.52 for the average of the health-unrelated (p<.001). The recognition on the prevention of the exposure to radiation was higher from the health-related students as the average of the health-related was 3.13 and 1.84 for the average of the health-unrelated (p<.001). From this study, the necessity of using radiation from the medical field and the recognition on its harmfulness appeared to have a big difference between the health-related and health-unrelated. For such, the accurate understanding of the recognition on radiation and the education to improve recognition on radiation are considered to be required.
