Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors of perception by inpatients of the radiology department about exposure to radioactivity at the time of radioactive examination, providing basic information for making educational materials aimed to change their perception. Most of those patients, 65.5% responded that CT was a type of radioactive examination bringing highest exposure to radiosensitivity. Most of the subjects, 56.1% said that a body part most vulnerable to exposure to radiosensitivity was the genital gland at the time of radiosensitivity examination. And most of the participants, or 26.3% responded that they obtained information about radiation from TVs or newspapers. Among the surveyed patients, men were higher in scores for factors of the perception of radiation such as recognition of radiation, harmfulness of radiation, psychological state at the time of radioactive examination, prevention of exposure to radioactivity and necessity of radiation that women were, with statistically significant differences between the two groups. These findings suggest that it is urgently needed to develop an education program which helps patients better perceive exposure to radioactivity and that radiologists should be very careful to reduce the does of that exposure. If patients better perceive radiation, they would be less anxious and less exposed to radioactivity when receiving the radioactive examination.

본 연구는 영상의학과 내원 환자를 대상으로 진단용 방사선 검사 시 방사선피폭 인식에 대한 관련요인을 분석하여 방사선피폭 인식의 변화를 위한 교육 자료를 만드는데 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시도하였다. 방사선 장치 중 가장 방사선 피폭을 가장 많이 받는 검사에 대해서는 전체 65.5%로 CT가 가장 높았으며, 방사선 검사 시 피폭에 가장 민감한 부위에 대해서는 생식선 56.1% 가장 많았고, 방사선에 대한 정보 파악은 전체 26.3%가 TV나 신문을 통해 습득하는 것이 가장 많았다. 방사선 인식도, 방사선 유해성, 방사선 검사 시 심리상태, 방사선 피폭방지, 방사선 필요성에 대해서는 성 별간 남자가 더 높게 나타났으며, 통계학적으로는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구를 통해서 환자들로 하여금 방사선피폭에 대하여 올바르게 인식을 할 수 있도록 교육프로그램의 개발이 시급하며, 방사선사들에게는 환자의 피폭선량을 경감을 위한 세심한 배려가 필요하다고 하겠다. 또한 환자들은 방사선에 대해서 올바르게 인식하는 것이 촬영 시 불안감과 방사선피폭을 줄일 수 있을 것이다.
