Informatıon About X-Ray Radıatıon, Determınıng The Awareness Level Of Vocational School of Health Services Students

Abstract

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the radiation awareness of the students who receive education in various fields in hospitals in the future, and to draw attention to this subject. It was applied to all associate degree program students at Toros University Health Service Vocational School between November-December 2021. Thus, the difference between the Medical Imaging Techniques students who receive training on radiation and the students in other programs that are not given information about radiation in the training content has been revealed.
