Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de sağlık kuruluşlarında çalışan sağlık personellerinin radyasyona yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek amaçlandı. Çalışmada, sağlık çalışanlarının radyasyona ve radyasyonun etkilerine yönelik bilişsel, duyuşsal ve davranışsal tutumlarında meslek, cinsiyet, hizmet yılı, çalıştığı kurum, çalıştığı bölüm değişkenlerine yönelik anlamlı farlılık olup olmadığı araştırıldı. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Sağlık Çalışanlarına Yönelik Radyasyon Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Yarı Yapılandırılmış Nitel Veri Toplama Aracı” kullanıldı.
Sağlık çalışanlarının verdiği bilgilerden ve yapılan istatistik sonuçlarından, hastanelerde yapılan radyasyon ile ilgili tekrar testlerin %52 oranında gereksiz yapıldığı yorumu, hasta sağlığı için ne kadar önemli bir risk olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Sağlık çalışanlarının radyasyona yönelik bilişsel tutumu ile beraber duyuşsal ve davranışsal tutumlarının geliştirilmesi iyi bir radyasyon eğitimi ile mümkün olacağı düşünülmektedir. Yapılan çalışmanın sonuçları literatürle karşılaştırıldığında daha çok benzer sonuçlar elde edildiği görülmektedir.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of health personnel working in health institutions in Turkey towards radiation. In the study, it was investigated whether there was a significant difference in the cognitive, affective and behavioural attitudes of healthcare professionals towards radiation and its effects in terms of occupation, gender, years of service, institution and department variables. ‘Radiation Attitude Scale for Healthcare Workers’ and “Semi-structured Qualitative Data Collection Tool” were used as data collection tools.
From the information provided by healthcare professionals and the statistical results, the interpretation that 52% of the radiation-related retests performed in hospitals are unnecessary revealed how important a risk it is for patient health. It is thought that the development of affective and behavioural attitudes of healthcare professionals together with their cognitive attitudes towards radiation will be possible with a good radiation education. When the results of the study are compared with the literature, it is seen that more similar results are obtained.
