İYONİZE RADYASYONUN RADYOLOJİ BÖLÜMÜNDE ÇALIŞAN SAĞLIK ÇALIŞANLARI ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sağlık alanında radyasyon bulunan ortamlarda çalışan sağlık çalışanları üzerinde radyasyonun etkileri üzerine tasarlanmıştır. Radyasyon alanlarında çalışan sağlık çalışanları düşük dozda radyasyona maruz kalmaktadır. Bu maruziyetten en çok etkilenen organ tiroiddir. Tiroid uyarıcı hormon düzeyleri ile 5 yıl boyunca radyasyona maruz kalma arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Radyasyona maruz kalan kişilerde DNA hasarı gelişebilir ve DNA onarım sistemi etkilenebilir. Radyasyon alanında çalışan sağlık çalışanlarının maruz kaldıkları doza bağlı olarak bazı kanser türleri açısından risk altında oldukları söylenebilir. Bu zararlı etkilerden en çok girişimsel radyoloji ve nükleer tıp çalışanları etkilenmektedir. Bu sağlık sorunlarından korunmak veya daha az sağlık sorunu yaşamak için radyasyon alanında çalışan sağlık çalışanlarının her türlü korunma yöntemini uygulamaları gerekmektedir. Bu korunma yöntemleri hem bireysel hem de hasta açısından değerlendirilmelidir. Ayrıca diğer sağlık profesyonelleri de sağlıkta vazgeçilmez bir unsur olan radyasyon ortamından mümkün olduğunca az yararlanmalıdır. Teşhis veya tedavi sırasında radyasyona maruz kalmak iyileşme sürecinde gecikmelere neden olabilir.

THE EFFECT OF IONIZING RADIATION ON HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Abstract

This study was designed on the effects of radiation on healthcare professionals working in environments with radiation in the healthcare field. Healthcare workers working in radiation areas are exposed to low doses of radiation. The organ most affected by this exposure is the thyroid. There is a significant relationship between thyroid stimulating hormone levels and exposure to radiation for 5 years. People exposed to radiation may develop DNA damage and the DNA repair system may be affected. It can be said that health workers working in the fields of radiation are at risk for some types of cancer depending on the dose they are exposed to. Interventional radiology and nuclear medicine workers are most affected by these harmful effects. In order to be protected from these health problems or to experience less health problems, health workers working in the fields of radiation should apply all kinds of protection methods. These prevention methods should be evaluated both individually and in terms of the patient. In addition, other health professionals should make use of the radiation environment, which is an indispensable element in health, as little as possible. Exposure to radiation during diagnosis or treatment can cause delays in the healing process.
