摘要

计算机断层扫描(CT扫描)的大量使用是增加医疗电离辐射暴露的主要原因。儿童被认为是发生辐射引起的疾病的危险人群,辐射防护措施的实施依赖于保健专业人员的知识和技能。本分析性横断面研究旨在评估摩洛哥开具儿童CT扫描检查处方的医生对患者辐射防护、辐射剂量和CT扫描辐射暴露的潜在健康风险的知识。向摩洛哥五家儿科医院中开具儿童CT检查处方的医务人员中的所有临床医生分发了一份调查表。这些问题的重点是医生的做法和他们对患者辐射防护、辐射剂量、CT扫描辐射暴露的潜在健康风险以及辐射防护培训的知识。向处方医师提交了192份问卷,其中88%的人回复了问卷。采用Microsoft Office Excel统计软件包对数据进行分析。摩洛哥医生在CT扫描辐射剂量和相关健康风险方面的知识差距从本研究结果中可以明显看出,对保健工作人员进行初步和持续培训以及实施医疗成像转诊指南可以提高从业人员对患者辐射防护的知识。

Evaluation of Moroccan physician’s knowledge about radiation doses and risks from pediatric computed tomography
The large use of Computed Tomography Scan (CT scan) is a principal cause of increasing medical ionizing radiation exposure. Children are considered a population at risk for the occurrence of radiation-induced pathologies, and the implementation of radiation protection measures relies on the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals. This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to assess the knowledge of Moroccan physicians prescribing pediatric CT scan examinations on the radiation protection of patients, radiation doses, and potential health risks of radiation exposure from CT scan. A questionnaire was distributed to all clinicians on the medical staff who prescribe pediatric CT examinations in five Moroccan pediatric hospitals. The questions have a focusing on prescribers’ practices and their knowledge of patient radiation protection, radiation doses, the potential health risks of radiation exposure from CT scan, and training on radiation protection. One hundred and ninety-two questionnaires were submitted to prescribers and among them, 88% responded. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package of Microsoft Office Excel. Knowledge gaps regarding CT scan radiation doses and associated health risks among Moroccan physicians are evident from this study results, initial and continuing training of health care staff and the implementation of referral guidelines for medical imaging could lead to improve practitioners’ knowledge of patient radiation protection.

期刊介绍: Radioprotection publishes articles on all aspects of radiological protection, including non-ionising as well as ionising radiations. Fields of interest range from research, development and theory to operational matters, education and training. The very wide spectrum of its topics includes (theoretical and practical aspects): dosimetry, instrument development, specialized measuring techniques, epidemiology, biological effects (in vivo and in vitro) and risk and environmental impact assessments.
