Main task – to estimate and evaluate medical personnel’s of health care (doctors of radiology and radiology assistants) informativeness about receivable irradiance towards patients and radiational safety in city of Vilnius. Object of research - doctors of radiology and radiology assistants. During this research 140 respondents were questioned from 15 health care institutions. Overall 35 radiologists were questioned (15 men and 20 women), 105 radiology assistants (4 men and 101 women) and that’s accordingly 20, 0% and 75, 0%. Age variance of the respondents is from 23 up to 71 years old (average of 47.43 years old). Descriptive research type and survey was used in order to achieve the goals of this research. Statistical data analysis was performed by using SPSS program, version 13. The given distribution of index is in natural numbers and in percentage, Chi-square is counted (Chi-sq). Statistically the difference is meaningful when the level of probability is p<0,05. The analysis of science articles, law normative materials, health care systems, etc. was accomplished. The conclusion: after the evaluation of knowledge of the respondents it is clear that, doctors of radiology and radiology assistants have enough knowledge about radiational safety and dangers of irradiance. The research also revealed that they do not have enough knowledge concerning the specific topics, for example the doses that are received during variable procedures, the dependence of the dose, the observation and control over radiational safety. It is necessary to deepen the knowledge in this area. After evaluating the correct answers given by the four age groups of the respondents we can state that the distribution of respondents who correctly answered the questions in every group is about the same. The Radiation Protection Centre does a lot of various researches and tasks concerning radiational safety, irradiance dose control etc. Medical personnel should be aware of this. It is estimated that not all of the respondents are aware of the researches the RSC is performing. |
