| Abstract |
PURPOSE
This study investigated the effects that the use of a booklet for intensive care unit nurses had on radiation safety management education (knowledge about and behaviors in radiation safety management, and awareness of anxiety caused by radiation hazards).
METHODS
A randomized control group pretest-posttest design was used. A booklet about radiation safety management developed by the authors was used as educational material. Participants (N=42) were intensive care unit nurses of P hospital in B city. Training was provided to the experimental group (N=21). Knowledge about and behaviors in radiation safety management and awareness of anxiety caused by radiation hazards were measured by questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data was analyzed by an χ2-test, non-paired t-test, and paired t-test.
RESULTS
There was a significant difference between groups in knowledge of (t=-14.932, p < .001) and behaviors in (t=-8.297, p < .001) radiation safety management and awareness of anxiety caused by radiation hazards (t=9.378, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
The levels of knowledge about and behaviors in radiation safety management and awareness of anxiety generated by radiation hazards of intensive care unit nurses increased after receiving one session of radiation safety management education using the booklet. Therefore, providing radiation safety management training is suggested as an effective strategy for improving radiation safety management. |
