Abstract

Aim and objective: To assess the knowledge and attitudes regarding radiation hazards and protection amongst medical and dental students. Materials and method: A validated 20 point questionnaire about radiation protocol in the form of multiple choices was used for the study where 400 participants ( undergraduate students and interns) were included from medical and dental field. Results were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The knowledge, attitude and awareness about radiation protection was highest in dental interns followed by dental students, medical interns and medical students. Among the total participants, majority felt that lectures and workshops should be conducted to acquire knowledge on radiation hazards and protection. Conclusion: There is need “to fill” the knowledge deficit for students from both medical and dental fraternity thereby creating awareness about radiation hazards and protection. There is a need to educate current and future doctors regarding unnecessary exposure of individual to radiation.

牙科及医科学生对辐射危害及辐射防护知识及态度的问卷调查

目的和目的:评估医科和牙科学生对辐射危害和防护的知识和态度。材料与方法:采用一份经过验证的20点辐射方案问卷，采用多项选择的形式进行研究，其中包括400名来自医学和牙科领域的本科生和实习生。结果采用SPSS 20.0进行统计分析。结果:牙科实习生对辐射防护的知识、态度和意识最高，其次为牙科学生、医学实习生和医学生。在所有与会者中，大多数人认为应举办讲座和讲习班，以获得有关辐射危害和防护的知识。结论:医学和牙科两方面的学生都需要“填补”知识缺口，从而提高他们对辐射危害和防护的认识。有必要教育现在和未来的医生，让他们了解不必要的个人辐射暴露。
